How does pressure care work?

What is pressure care?

Pressure care focuses on reducing sustained pressure on vulnerable areas of the body, such as the hips, lower back and tailbone. By redistributing weight and reducing friction, pressure care products help lower the risk of pressure injuries while improving everyday comfort. Safe-Life pressure care solutions are selected for practical use in Australian care environments.

How do pressure care products reduce risk?

  1. The body rests on a pressure-distributing surface.
  2. Weight is spread across a wider contact area.
  3. High-pressure points are reduced.
  4. Blood flow is better maintained.
  5. Skin stress over time is minimised.
