Anti-decubitus Pad ARmedical 42472 with Fleece Cover for Pressure Ulcer Prevention

ARmedical Anti-decubitus Pad 42472 with Fleece Cover is a medical pressure-relief pad designed to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. The pad provides an even pressure distribution surface for use on beds and chairs and features a removable fleece cover that offers a soft, breathable contact layer. Intended for patients at risk of decubitus, the product is suitable for use in home care, hospitals and long-term care environments where pressure redistribution and skin microclimate management are required.

Advantages

The pad combines a pressure-redistributing core with a removable fleece cover to provide comfort and hygiene. The fleece top layer is breathable and gentle on fragile skin while the pad core reduces concentrated pressure points. The removable cover facilitates cleaning and maintenance without exposing the main pad to repeated handling or moisture. The product is compatible with standard beds and chairs and can be positioned to protect areas prone to pressure injuries.

Suitable for

• Patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers in bed or while seated
• Home care and informal caregiving environments
• Hospital wards, rehabilitation units and long-term care facilities
• Short-term postoperative support and preventive use for immobile patients

Key specifications

• Pressure-redistributing pad core designed to reduce localized pressure
• Removable fleece cover that provides a soft, breathable contact surface
• Intended for use on beds and chairs to redistribute pressure
• Suitable for use with standard bedding and seating without special fittings

How to use

Place the anti-decubitus pad on the mattress or chair surface with the fleece cover facing upward. Position the pad so that high-risk areas — such as the sacrum, heels or shoulder blades — rest on the pressure-redistributing zone. Ensure the pad lies flat without folds or creases to maintain even pressure distribution. Regularly inspect the skin under and around the pad and follow local clinical protocols for repositioning and skin care. Wash or replace the fleece cover according to the manufacturer’s care instructions to maintain hygiene and preserve the pad’s performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the pad as part of a comprehensive pressure ulcer prevention plan that includes regular repositioning, skin inspection, moisturizing when appropriate, and nutrition management. Check the fleece cover regularly for wear and replace it if its breathability or integrity is compromised. Consult a healthcare professional for assessment of individual risk and to determine optimal placement and repositioning frequency.
