DECUBITUS / BEDSORES

A REVOLUTIONARY DISCOVERY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF BEDSORES

PROVEN AND RESEARCHED

A revolutionary discovery has been made in the management of bedsores (decubitus). This is KBS2000 (Klass Vaki), an ergonomically designed body support system which was scientifically researched and proven in practice.

Patient suffering is immense and the increase in hospital stays is a huge waste of resources.

DEVELOPMENT OF BEDSORES

Bedsores develop due to prolonged pressure against areas of the skin. When lying on a flat sleep surface a suspension bridge is created between shoulders and buttocks which increases pressure in these sensitive areas.

The KBS2000 (Klass Vaki) body support system, however, has unique built-in supports to eliminate the suspension bridge and to distribute the body mass in such a manner that the build-up of pressure is minimized.

Academic hospitals find KBS2000 (Klass Vaki) of such value that it is being used in intensive care units.

Research has been done at various universities and other health care institutions. They find KBS2000 (Klass Vaki) to be the best solutions for the prevention of bedsores.

A better distribution of body mass on the KBS2000 (Klass Vaki) leads to a relief of pressure. The formulae that applies:

 

Force

 
Pressure == --------- == BEDSORES
 

Area

 

Special heel support available to prevent the development of ulcers in this area.

Please refer to the Ergo Chech research results regarding pressure build-up on the Research Page.
