Thank you for choosing our Pressurecare product range.
Our products are used to aid the prevention of pressure
ulcers and correct positioning in the surgical
environment. A Patient’s predisposition to this type of
injury is based on many factors including intrinsic factors
such as general health, age, weight and pre-existing
medical conditions. The risk of patients acquiring pressure
related injuries can be minimized by properly using the
Trulife range of products, along with good clinical
practices. Appropriate care and attention will ensure the
long life and durability of your Trulife Pressurecare
products.
general use of your Trulife Pressurecare products.
• In line with good clinical practice, assess the patient’s
condition and areas of potential risk prior to deciding
which pads and positioners to use.
• Please ensure the patient is correctly positioned in a
safe and secure manner at all times and ensure that no
excess pressure is applied to any one area. Pay
particular attention to areas of high risk.
• A sheet may be placed over the product; however, this
will reduce its shear relieving properties. If a sheet is
used, it should fit loosely over the products and be un-
starched and free of wrinkles or folds.
• Products should be handled with care. Avoid placing
sharp instruments on the products as they will
puncture the film.
• Pads may be heated to body temperature in an oven,
pre-heated to 40ºC, or on a heated mattress. Please
follow instructions of the oven or mattress
manufacturer as appropriate. (Please refer to good
clinical practices)
• The products can be cooled to -12ºC without any
adverse effects.
• Avoid pulling table pads while patients are lying on
them, as excessive force will adversely affect them.
• Avoid pulling products along rough or sharp surfaces.
• Products should be checked for wear and tear. If
damage occurs (e.g. cut, crack or tear) the product
should be discarded. A repair kit is available for the
Oasis, Elite and Azure range but should only be used as
a temporary solution.
• Products should be clean and dry before use.
• The Oasis + discs aid slip reduction, however they
should be used in conjunction with other anti slip
measures. (Please refer to good clinical practices)
• The Oasis + range is 100% silicone. It is 'oily to touch' as
the silicone releases oil, this is hypo-allergenic and
gives extra grip.
• Do not expose the product to a naked flame.
• Use correct lifting techniques when lifting heavy
products.
