Body pressures and bed surfaces.
Wild D. Wild D. Nurs Stand. 1991 Mar 27-Apr 2;5(27):23, 25-7. doi: 10.7748/ns.5.27.23.s42. Nurs Stand. 1991. PMID: 1902363 Clinical Trial.
This study compares the intersurface pressure on 'at risk' body sites of six subjects on a new design of water bed with those obtained from resting on a King's Fund bed. The findings show flotation on the water bed offers more effective support to body tissue than that pro …
