Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Patients at High Risk of Developping Pressure Ulcers Using the Low-pressure Motorized Air Support Mattress With XTECH®25 Control Unit

NCT06438042 RECRUITING

The aim of the study is to determine the clinical value of using a a low air pressure motorised therapeutic mattress in the prevention of pressure injury (PI) in patients at medium to high risk. This study is noncomparative, observational study. Patients older than 18 years of age, with a high risk of PI, without PI, lying more than 20 hours a day on a XTECH®25 mattress will be included. The study will be conducted in nursing homes, and in long-stay geriatrics department. Patients are followed up for 35 days. The use of the XTECH®25 mattress is associated with the usual PI prevention measures. The primary outcome is the percentage of patients who developed between day 0 and day 35 at least one PI of at least stage 2 on the sacrum, spine, or heel. Secondary endpoints are patient assessments of comfort, caregiver satisfaction, mattress noise level, and mattress safety.
