Development of cover and linen of support surfaces for the prevention of pressure ulcer

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to describe the relationship between the pressure ulcer development and the microclimate of the support surfaces. Total mean difference in skin temperature can be used as predictor for pressure ulcer for development and superficial skin changes, while synthetic fiber sheets has the potential effect to maintain favorable microclimate which can prevent pressure ulcers development and superficial skin changes. We must need to revise our basic experimental protocol for the testing the microclimate condition of the support surfaces.
