CLIN

The aim of the study is to determine the clinical value of using a powered alternating pressure air overlay mattress (P-APAM) in the prevention of pressure injury (PI) in patients at medium to high risk.
This study is noncomparative, observational study.
Patients older than 18 years of age, with a medium to high risk of PI, without PI, up during the day, and lying between 15 and 20 hours per day on a specific P-APAM will be included. The study will be conducted in nursing homes, and in long-stay geriatrics department.
Patients will be followed up for 35 days. The use of the P-APAM is associated with the usual PI prevention measures. The primary outcome is the percentage of patients who will develop at least one PI of at least stage 2 on the sacrum, spine, or heel between day 0 and day 35 . Secondary endpoints are patient assessments of comfort, caregiver satisfaction, mattress noise level, and mattress safety.

The aim of the study is to determine the clinical value of using a a low air pressure motorised therapeutic mattress in the prevention of pressure injury (PI) in patients at medium to high risk.
This study is noncomparative, observational study.
Patients older than 18 years of age, with a high risk of PI, without PI, lying more than 20 hours a day on a XTECH®25 mattress will be included. The study will be conducted in nursing homes, and in long-stay geriatrics department.
Patients are followed up for 35 days. The use of the XTECH®25 mattress is associated with the usual PI prevention measures. The primary outcome is the percentage of patients who developed between day 0 and day 35 at least one PI of at least stage 2 on the sacrum, spine, or heel. Secondary endpoints are patient assessments of comfort, caregiver satisfaction, mattress noise level, and mattress safety.

The PRO-FLEX PIVOT® is ESAR prosthetic foot with an innovative technology built around three pillars:
1. The PIVOT technology: three axes of rotation (upper support, main pivot and lower support) at the ankle, which allow both a movement with more amplitude and closer to the physiological movement of the ankle, and an increase in the power of the ankle, especially in the terminal support phase.
2. The technology of the three carbon blades (plantar, upper and median), including a wider plantar blade, split in the middle of the foot with a separate toe to provide efficiency over the entire length to the big toe, bringing more power to the impulse and more control, but also increased stability until the terminal support phase.
3. An anatomical foot cosmetic, to adapt and optimize the function of the blade: of light manufacture, with an adherent sole for more stability barefoot, it guarantees physiological plantar pressure during the unwinding of the foot.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that compared to a class III ESAR foot, the PRO-FLEX PIVOT® foot improves patient mobility with a validated score.
