For many healthy people, the bed is a material that is not much different from other household items in the house.

Although it is known how important a healthy sleep is, the choice of mattress is one of the first wrong choices.

Mattress prices are of course effective in preferences. However, for the beds that are under the sheet and cannot be seen and perhaps more importantly, which cannot be shown to the guests, not even as much research is done as an ordinary rug used at home.

In short, in our country, there is a carelessness and indifference about the bed even for healthy people regardless of income level.

As such, it is unfortunately not possible for the relatives of an unconscious patient or an individual with mobility limitations to make the right choice.

For a healthy person, a bed is a necessary household item for sleeping, while for a disabled person and / or inpatient, the bed is also a living space.

For the disabled person and / or inpatient, the bed does not only mean a healthy sleep. The right bed is a necessity to continue normal life.

While a healthy person has to start the day without being able to rest with waist, neck and back pain due to the wrong bed, the disabled and / or inpatient individual comes to the point of breaking away from daily life with the wrong bed choice.

In order for the disabled and/or bedridden individual to continue his/her standard life, he/she should be protected from bedsores.

Although there is a lot of information about bedsores on the internet, we find it useful to repeat this information.

Bed sores are tissue necroses that occur as a result of continuous and recurring pressure, especially in areas with bone protrusions.

Bed sores, which are frequently seen in people with restricted mobility, are unfortunately ulcers for which a remedy is sought after the wound is formed.

Although awareness raising activities are carried out for many diseases, the lack of widespread and effective studies to raise public awareness on behalf of bedsores is an important factor in the lack of a clear awareness of these wounds.

Bed sores.

Is it fate?

Of course not.

It is highly likely that these wounds will not occur as a result of good care and attention.

There are different ways of preventing bedsores for unconscious people and different ways of preventing bedsores for people who have partially lost their mobility.

Bed sore protection requirements for wheelchair users include different requirements for each person.

In short, although generalisations about bedsores are shaped by accurate information, each individual has completely different needs. Therefore, the products to be used against bedsores should be prepared separately for each case.

It helps to act with a more accurate prediction to list the needs of each case instead of collecting even completely unconscious people in a single category and to say that the features sought in the patient bed to be used against bedsores are the following.

Example. Many factors about bedsore, protection against bedsore and treatment methods are shown in a common cluster.

However, invasive and non-invasive devices that are constantly kept in the patient can cause different situations and requirements in each case.

So much so that a patient may have more than one device attached at the same time and may not even be able to position the patient lying on his/her back.

For individuals who spend a significant part of their daily life in a wheelchair, the precautions to be taken against bedsores bring along different topics.

While the weight spreads over a much larger area when lying on the back, the same weight presses on a much smaller area in the sitting position. When the posture disorders that exist in many wheelchair users are added to the subject, additional precautions should be taken to protect against pressure sores, commonly known as bedsores.

The biggest advantage of wheelchair users is that they know what they want. The bitter experiences they experience over time form a valuable starting point in their choices.

If a wheelchair user has been exposed to a pressure sore, they know that the area must be completely evacuated in the sitting position.

What he needs is a special wheelchair cushion designed for his posture.

He is aware of the comfort that a drawing he will prepare specifically for his wheelchair and his needs will offer to his life.

This awareness has been effective for many wheelchair users to prefer BedAiD.

Because BedAiD is the address where he can reach the special products he needs not only for his wheelchair but also for the car he uses or travels by drawing special dimensions and specifying his wishes.

Moreover, special products produced without calculation of quantity are not materials for which exorbitant prices are required.

For patients who cannot express their pain and distress, who cannot speak, who are unconscious, the task falls to the relatives of the patients.

The first product recommended to patient relatives in our country is the patient bed and air mattress.

It is the most appropriate attitude for health personnel not to specify the brand.

The patient's relatives, who encounter such a situation for the first time in their lives, repeat the mistakes they have made even in their own bed selection.

And interestingly, many relatives of patients make the wrong decisions that both the patient will have problems in the future and will be under much greater financial burdens in the future, instead of products that they can afford financially, only by choosing cheap products at that moment.

This does not only apply to air mattress, patient bed, wheelchair or wheelchair cushion.

Of course, medical equipment sellers also have a great influence on these wrong decisions.

Any patient's relatives are potential customers when they enter a medical supply market.

Medical equipment sales areas are no different from any other market.

Whichever product is available in the medical market at that moment, the salesperson recommends that product.

Especially if the subject is an air mattress, these products, which start from 150 TL and are in a box and are very comfortable for medical markets, are recommended to patient relatives.

As we have stated in our previous articles, inflatable beds are similar to the sea beds used by healthy people while swimming in the sea in terms of comfort.

You need to calculate what kind of protection these products offer to your patients, which do not offer comfort to the patient and you may experience various problems although you are not sick when you lie and sleep on it as a healthy person.

You should bear the following information in mind without repetition.

If you have bedsores or if you are looking for measures against bedsores and you will make the right decision about your patient,

You should note your patient's condition and needs one by one.

The height and weight of your patient is very important. In the product you choose, you should prefer brands that can offer you options suitable for your patient's height, weight and height / weight ratio.

The important thing here is not the carrying capacity of the product. The product is modified according to the height and weight of your patient.

If there is a bed sore, you should choose products that offer separate possibilities if there is a possibility of a separate bed sore.

You should turn to areas that offer you options that provide protection against urine / faecal leakage and do not harbour germs and bacteria.

You should examine products that can accelerate blood flow and mobilise small muscle systems.

You should take note of products that can ventilate the lying surface.

And you should buy products that can offer solutions for all these needs at the same time.

Taking precautions before bed sores occur is the most important issue in this regard.

In addition to the troubles that your patient and you as the patient's relatives will suffer after the formation of a bedsore, you should not forget that great financial burdens await you with both hospitalisation periods and wound care product costs you will use.

The words we will say for wheelchair users looking for a remedy against pressure sores are just as clear.

Personalised wheelchair cushion...

Do you want to create a space of the desired size in a desired part of your seat cushion?

Do you need a different sized seat cushion on your car seat?

Do you need cushions in completely different sizes and features when you switch from your standard home seat to your standard father's seat?

Simply draw and share with us the product that best suits your posture and needs, whether in your wheelchair or in your car.

Bedsores are not your fate. Just know your needs and what you want.

As a last word, it is also worth mentioning.

No matter how high quality and how good the product you use, standard care is absolutely necessary.

BedAiD, which provides maximum protection to the bedsore, should be considered as an effective material within the conservative (PROTECTIVE) treatment methods and standard care should not be interrupted.
