Use of bubble packaging film for relieving decubitus ulcers or pressure ulcers

摘要

Body fluid absorbing cushioning means for use by invalids and bed- ridden persons for absorption of body waste fluids and for relief of pressure areas on the skin. The cushioning means comprises a laminate with at least three layers including an inner water absorbent layer, an outer generally water impervious layer, and a center layer consisting of an array of generally closely spaced enclosures defining air supported closed cells. Further, in order to accommodate transfer of body fluids from the inner layer, bores may be formed in the center layer between individual enclosures, wherein a second water absorbing layer is provided on the opposite side of the impervious cell layer.
