Some Interesting Findings…
• Surgical patients account for 20% to 30% of all pressure injuries.
• Pressure Sores are ‘not only life altering but life threatening’!
• Usually presents as a burn or bruise with rapid progression within 1–3
days post surgery.
• Pressure injuries are, in most cases, preventable!
• Patient Positioning: Education is key. (www.surgicalproductsmag.com. 2010. Claire Williams
Tager)

Preventative Measures…
Positioning a patient properly on the operating table is critical

Why Silicone
• Medical Grade Silicone
• Silicone is a ViscoElastic material
• Redistributes weight better than PU gels (ACTION)
• Scientifically Developed & Proven through R&D
• Soft as skin and underlying fatty tissue
• Redistributes pressure very effectively
• Reduces Impact of Shear and Friction

Additional Benefits of Silicone
• Distributes Weight Effectively
• Hypoallergenic / Latex Free
• X-ray Translucent / MRI Compatible
• Easy to Clean / Won’t Support Bacterial Growth
• Reusable & Very Durable
• Most Extensive Range
• Dampens Impact
• Thermal Stability: Cool or Heat
• Fire Rated as Self Extinguishing
• Non Conductive
• Oasis + is autoclavable

Pressure Mapping
• In Trulife we use FSA (Force Sensitive Applications).
• Strict protocol to ensure accurate representations of
body form and body mass are applied when using the
apparatus
Enables us to evaluate & design our pressurecare range
for optimal pressure relief

Reddening of Skin?
• Cannot eliminate all pressure
• Reddening can occur after long cases
• If it is blanchable & clears within 30
minutes: No pressure damage has
occurred

Cleaning
• Should be disinfected after every patient
• Water based solutions
• Foam Or Cotton
• Single patient use (without cover)
• How are standards maintained?
• Costs of single use
• Greater risk of contamination

Pressure Sores & Injuries
• Costs of treatment higher than preventative measures.
• Cost to patient: Numerous!
• Pain, discomfort, prolonged hospital stay, altered body image
• Costs incurred by litigation high. JAMA 2006. Vol 296, No 8. Preventing Pressure Ulcers: A

Implications of Clinical Practice
• Nurses play a vital role in pressurecare
• Must take part responsibility for positioning
• Nurse must act as patient advocate
• Risk assessment tool would be useful
• Be fully informed of equipment available to facilitate adequate pressurecare
• All OR Staff should be briefed on PC

Considerations
• Thoracic? Lateral positioners.
• Spinal? Prone positioners.
What types of surgery performed?
Age profile in the Hospital
• Orthopaedics? Older population at higher risk
• Paediatrics? Different range of products

Considerations Continued
• Have they enough equipment?
• Should be viewed as universal precaution
How many theatres in the Hospital?
Are staff trained on use of products?
• Theatre staff need regular updates and training
• Is there a Tissue Viability Nurse at the Hospital?

Chinese Clinical Application
For Oasis series position pads, the main material is a silica gel with
unique formula (TruGel). The main material is a unique formula
(trugel) silica gel with soft texture and good biological features which
allow the body weight to be evenly distributed onto the silica gel
without being compressed to an extreme state. Therefore, it provides
very good protection for the skin during surgical procedures.
