DEVICE FOR HEALING OF DECUBITUS AND OTHER NON-HEALING ULCERS AND METHOD OF USE THEREIN

摘要

A device for healing of decubitus and other non-healing ulcers includes a protective wrap that has air filled bubbles that cushion and relive pressure on a patient that is wrapped therein. In one embodiment, a full body wrap covers almost all of the patient. A torso only embodiment allows the patient's legs to remain free while providing healing for any ulcer located on the torso. In use, the patient is easily rolled into different positions to relieve pressure by simply rotating them since they are enclosed in a cylindrical wrap. The patient lies on the open protective wrap and then a left and right portion is wrapped around the patient and secured using a hook and loop fastener. The protective wrap is used and disposed of. The wrap may be cleaned and used again, but should not be used with multiple patients.
