This often results in the formation of a pressure ulcer. A pressure ulcer is defined as any lesion caused by unrelieved pressure resulting in underlying tissue damage. Complications related to pressure ulcers cause an estimated 60,000 deaths and cost over $1.3 billion annually.1 However, most pressure ulcers are treatable and Invacare even preventable. Therapeutic Support Surfaces are a proven way to help prevent and treat pressure ulcers. ® Therapeutic Support Surfaces Causes of Pressure Ulcers Pressure ulcers can be caused by four factors, either individually or in • Shear: Occurs when adjacent surfaces slide across one another, combination: typically when a patient slides down in bed or chair.

What to Expect with My New Mattress
What To Expect With a New Set of Bedding Expect An Adjustment Period. Just as your new dress shoes take some time to feel good, your new mattress might take some time for your body to become adjusted. This is especially true if you are changing from a very old bed set, a damaged bed set, or a poor quality bed set. This is also true if you are changing “comfort” levels, for example moving from a firm to a new fluffy pillow top mattress. It can take days or weeks for your body to adjust to a new mattress. Slight Comfort Impressions Are Normal. You can expect your mattress to develop slight indentations called “body impressions” as soon as you start sleeping on it. These slight indentations are normal and are the result of the quilt and upholstery layers settling and conforming to your individual body. As these layers compress, the mattress will actually improve in performance. True sagging resembles the dipping look of a hammock in which the dip measures greater than 1 1/2 inches. While slight body impressions are normal, they are usually not greater than 1 1/2 inches in depth and are therefore not reason to exchange your mattress under warranty. Although most mattresses now only have one sleep surface, your mattress may benefit in comfort and durability if it is rotated regularly (clockwise). Visible Ridge Down The Middle Is Normal. When two people share a bed, they usually each sleep on one side therefore settling the layers of comfort on each side. Often times, there is a visible ridge down the middle of a king or queen bed where the comfort layers have not been compressed. -

Safe Sleep for Your Baby
SAFE SLEEP FOR YOUR BABY Reduce the Risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Other Sleep-Related Causes of Infant Death This is what a safe sleep environment looks like. The infant’s sleep area has no bumpers, pillows, blankets, or toys and is in the same room where the parents sleep. 1 Each year in the United States, thousands of babies die suddenly and unexpectedly. Some of these deaths result from unknown causes, such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), while others are from known causes, including other sleep-related causes of infant death. What is SIDS? SIDS is the sudden, unexpected death—that doesn’t have a known cause even after a full investigation—of a baby between 1 month and 1 year of age. About half of the sudden, unexpected infant deaths that occur in the United States each year are from SIDS. What are other sleep-related causes of infant death? Other sleep-related causes of infant death are those related to how or where a baby slept. These can include accidental: l Suffocation: when something, such as a pillow, or someone covers the baby’s face and nose, blocking the ability to breathe l Entrapment: when the baby gets trapped between two objects, such as a mattress and a wall, and can’t breathe l Strangulation: when something presses on or wraps around the baby’s neck, blocking baby’s airway Fast facts about SIDS l SIDS is the leading cause of death among babies 1 month to 1 year of age. l Most SIDS deaths happen when babies are between 1 month and 4 months of age.
