An 88% drop in pressure injuries  

Mastering pressure injury prevention requires meticulous attention to the pressure, friction, shear and microclimate created by prolonged bed-body contact.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) often reflect the quality of hospital care because an estimated 40-60% are considered preventable.    Preventing hospital acquired infections like SSIs is a comprehensive process that includes multiple solutions ⏤ from antimicrobial patient cleansers to post-surgery dressings.
