a palliative patient.
TurnAid T4 is especially suitable for patients at risk of pressure ulcers (decubitus). The
construction of the system allows a movement in the sheet which reduces the friction
between the patient and the sheet; a friction which often results in tissue damage and causes
pressure ulcers.
