What I have is a hill-rom acucair…..I’m assuming the true low air loss mattress
is different? nicki From: alcibiates2 [mailto:[email protected]]

Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] Pressure Sore I don't know if you are able to get one,
but you need a "True low air loss mattress ", not an alternating pressure
mattress that leaks air. Good luck. Best Wishes, John s.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Pressure Sore I’ve been paralyzed 18 ½ years and have had 1
pressure sore at the top of my butt crack a few years after my injury. One of
my caregivers noticed last night I am getting another one. I am pretty sure
it’s from laying on my back in bed. I prop my feet up and my pillow top has a
deep indention where my butt is. I do have a air bed on top of the mattress. I
can’t lay on my side because my catheter doesn’t drain. Suggestions please on
how you would relieve pressure on this area. Home health nurse left me
aquacell to put on it but they are 6 x 6 ……..she said just cut them but that
leaves 2 edges that aren’t sealed and I thought you weren’t suppose to put that
directly on an open sore? Nicki
