- " The intervention was associated with a significant reduction in posterior (coccyx, sacrum, back, buttock, heel, and spine) pressure injury rates, from 5.2% (n = 113) before to 2.8% (n = 51) after specialty linens were implemented (P < .001). " 03/01/2021
- " There was an association between type of fiber used in hospital linens and pressure injury development in previous clinical studies. " 08/01/2013
- " Additional studies to examine the effect of linens and underpads as well as microclimate management strategies on pressure ulcer risk are needed. " 08/01/2013
- " The results of this study suggest that putting additional linens or underpads on LAL surfaces may adversely affect skin temperature and moisture, thereby reducing the pressure ulcer prevention potential of these surfaces. " 01/01/2023
- " Furthermore, monitoring the installation of a mattress, keeping bed linens unwrinkled, and keeping patients in a proper position on a bed to prevent or reduce friction or shearing forces are very crucial in the prevention of pressure ulcers."
