Tri-block Polymer Gel pressure re-distribution pad

Dermis Plus is a range of pressure redistribution pads designed to help reduce the risk of pressure damage as part of a pressure ulcer prevention strategy. The products work by redistributing peak pressures and so reducing the risk of pressure related tissue damage.

Available as a sheet or strip, they can be used anywhere on the body identified as being ‘at risk’ including pressure damage associated with medical devices.

Fully washable and re-usable, hypoallergenic and odourless, the Dermis Plus contains a cross-linked three-dimensional polymer gel network infused with medical grade mineral oil that enables it to return to its original form as well as softening, moisturising and lubricating the skin.

A recent UK trial demonstrated that Dermis Plus is up to 10% more effective at distributing pressure than the leading competitor brand. The added benefit of the clear construction makes it easier to monitor skin integrity while in situ.
