Engineered with innovation, the APAM is packed with advanced features to effectively help ICU patients prevent and cope with bedsores.

What are Bedsores?

Even though it is the largest organ of the human body, the skin does not receive as much attention as the other organs. This “negligence” can have a severe impact on critically ill patients admitted to the ICU. Patients bedridden for a long time face the risk of developing pressure ulcers on their skin, which are commonly called bedsores.

The Four Stages of Bedsores

Stage#1

This is the mildest stage. In this stage, the sores only affect the upper layer of the patient’s skin.

Symptoms: Pain, burning and itching.

Stage#2

This is the next level of infection that occurs when the sore digs deeper below the surface of the patient’s skin.

Symptoms:  Broken skin, an open wound, or looks like a pus-filled blister.

Stage#3

These sores have penetrated the second layer of skin and ended up in the fat tissue.

Symptoms:  red edges, pus, odour, heat, etc.

Stage#4

This is an alarming stage where some of the sores may even affect the patient’s muscles and ligaments. Surgery might be needed in severe cases.

Symptoms: The sore is deep and big. The skin has turned black and shows signs of infection -- red edges, pus, odour, heat, and/or drainage. You may be able to see tendons, muscles, and bones.

Treating Bedsores with Codex APAM

The Codex APAM is designed to reduce the incidence of bedsores, especially for ICU patients.

Developed after intensive R&D, the Codex APAM epitomizes the cutting-edge in medical equipment design and development. With this new-age system, Codex Solutions reaffirms its position as a leading medical equipment manufacturer in India.

Key highlights

  • Unlike the standard Constant Low Pressure-CLP mattresses (Foam mattress, gel-filled, water-filled, etc) that remain static, APAMs have internal air cells that inflate and deflate in an alternating fashion. This ensures that nobody part of the patient is in constant contact with the mattress continuously.
  • The continuous motion prevents direct pressure on the body which avoids the blockage of blood vessels to the skin.
  • The alternating function also ensures aeration and makes sure that the skin cells receive enough oxygen to avoid pressure ulcers.
  • Numerous studies have shown that APAMs are more effective than CLP mattresses. The results showed that CLP mattresses had a 33.9% incidence of pressure ulcers whereas APAMs had an incidence rate of only 13%.
  • Another comparison study showed that the incidence rate for a standard foam mattress was 13.5% whereas APAMS had an incidence rate of 5.9%.
  • APAMs have a delayed formation of pressure ulcers which results in reduced hospital stay when used, as compared to CLPs

Well actually the thing is patient with pressure ulcers tend to go through big deal of discomfort pain and depression right and it sickens you to stomach really while a patient spend long time sitting on wheelchair or lying in bed. As an editor from cipd assignment writing service UK people with pale skin are more likely to fall victim of the bed sores as they tend to get their some part of body with the skin discolored.

That's a good innovation. Now a days, people are actually confined to bed all the time, specially after covid. This increased the risk of bed sores. While writing a personal statement for nursing, I noticed that my client has done the volunteer work for bed sore patients. I came to know about different parameters and how people can be affected by it. Although, the less severe ones can be treated by basic nursing care.

Hello there! As a Professional book editor, I appreciate you sharing this informative article about preventing bedsores. It's important to raise awareness about this issue, especially since bedsores can be painful and even life-threatening in some cases. The article provides helpful tips for preventing bedsores, such as changing positions regularly, keeping the skin clean and dry, and using specialized support surfaces. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on the importance of nutrition and hydration in preventing bedsores.
