Automating pressure relief delivery and improvingpressure injury prevention for acute-care patients
Global pressure injury prevalence is 14.8% in acute hospitals. The sacrum, heel, and hips are primary
injury sites, most frequently in Category/Stages I and II. Acute and surgical complications andimproper skin microclimate management significantly increase pressure injury risks, hospitalization,
workflow complexity, and resource consumption.1-3
Clinical Guideline advises proper relief care and frequent repositioning to prevent pressure injuries;
however, only 50% of inpatients have planned repositioning regimens and 20% use pressure relief
equipment. Immobility and incontinence add significant risks to pressure injury severity, development, and caregiver workload.1,4-5
Optima Auto automates mattress firmness, optimizingpressure injury prevention delivery, precision, andmaintenance. Consistent airflow ventilation prevents
moisture and heat buildup and improves skin microclimate control. Optima Auto streamlines caregivers'
workflow while improving pressure injury prevention,
comfort, and experience for patients.

Tailor immersion in 3 zones improves pressure relief
Torso is 40% of the total body weight and lacks tissues
to protect bony prominences.6 Automating pressure
relief to the head, torso, and lower leg in zones
supports the Clinical Guideline's recommendation ofimproving
full-bodyenvelopment,pressure
redistribution, and comfort.

Additional sacral cushioning prevents bottom outs
Automating mattress firmness to support sitting
combined with reinforced sacral cushioning aligns with
the Clinical Guideline's recommendation of protecting
patients from bottom outs and lower trunk pressure
injury risks and improving patient comfort and safety.

Soft and conforming surfaces minimize tissue
damageLow air loss, stretchable PU covers, and TPU air cells
deliver reliable skin microclimate management andcomfort. It satisfies the Clinical Guideline's
recommendation of minimizing friction and shear toreduce tissue deformation and pressure injury risks.

Breathable covers optimize skin microclimatemanagement
Proper airflow ventilation using high-performance cover– low friction and shear, water resistant, and vapour-permeable – meets the Clinical Guideline's recommendation of improving skin microclimate management,pressure injury prevention, and comfort.

Optima AutoClinical Application
Category/Stage III and above hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) only account for 10% of all HAPI cases yet, 60%of all HAPI costs. HAPI extends hospitalization by up to 8 days and increases healthcare resource consumption andcost. Significantly more for surgical and critical care patients.1,7,8
Sacrum and heel account for 44.8% and 24.2% of Category/Stage IV pressure injuries in intensive acute care.8 Immobility, poor health, and incontinence increase infections, moisture and heat buildup, and friction, leading to tissue
breakdowns and pressure injuries.1,9The Clinical Guideline advises using specialized pressure redistribution support surfaces that can conform to patients’bodies, minimize tissue deformation, and provide proper skin microclimate management with low air loss to reducepressure injury prevention and severity.1
