- Pressure relieving devices – Bed bound patients or those patients with limited mobility or poor nutrition are often at a high risk of developing a pressure injury. Our nurses can assess for that risk and advise on measures for prevention of pressure injury. For example, a dietician review, heel protection boots, pressure relieving cushions or air mattress hire. Please enquire for more devices we can offer, and your nurse can guide you also.
