“…The current literature points towards a new paradigm for treating and preventing PIs, including both pragmatic and health technology-based solutions, through the combination of different clinical approaches [59][60][61]. Despite the increase in clinical healthcare technology (CHT) innovation applied in PI prevention in recent years [62][63][64], solutions such as interface map pressure, telemedicine, and educational technologies (among others) have demonstrated moderate effectiveness in addressing a subset of risk factors [64][65][66].…”

Pressure injuries (PIs) are a major public health problem and can be used as quality-of-care indicators. An incipient development in the field of medical devices takes the form of Smart Health Textiles, which can possess innovative properties such as thermoregulation, sensing, and antibacterial control. This protocol aims to describe the process for the development of a new type of smart clothing for individuals with reduced mobility and/or who are bedridden in order to prevent PIs. This paper’s main purpose is to present the eight phases of the project, each consisting of tasks in specific phases: (i) product and process requirements and specifications; (ii and iii) study of the fibrous structure technology, textiles, and design; (iv and v) investigation of the sensor technology with respect to pressure, temperature, humidity, and bioactive properties; (vi and vii) production layout and adaptations in the manufacturing process; (viii) clinical trial. This project will introduce a new structural system and design for smart clothing to prevent PIs. New materials and architectures will be studied that provide better pressure relief, thermo-physiological control of the cutaneous microclimate, and personalisation of care.

“…The essence of the method consists in creating a negative pressure area on the surface of the decubitus [19]. It achieves wound surface clearing from infection and necrosis, pH returns to normal values, exudative processes, and edema reduction to controllable values [20]. Besides, the processes of tissue granularization begin, the degree of inflammation decreases.…”

The incidence of bedsores varies from 3 to 40%, with a maximum of 80% in patients in critical condition for a long time. Purpose: analysis of effective methods of therapy and prevention of bedsores. Object and methods of research. Thirty-one scientific publications from PubMed, Scopus databases since 2020 were analyzed. The analyzed methods included vacuum therapy, ultrasound methods, hydrosurgery, plasma flow method, laser application, electrostimulation, and a complex combination of methods. Results. Many involved methods give the choice in therapy strategy. The most expedient and effective is the complex combination of methods. Conclusion. Currently, a decrease in the incidence of bedsores is not expected; therefore, the analysis of the effectiveness of methods of therapy and prevention of bedsores remains relevant.

“…Regarding treatment, it should be carried out by a multidisciplinary team. For grade I and II PI, treatment involves pressure relief, nutritional optimization, and various healing alternatives, while grade III and IV injuries often require surgical debridement and reconstruction [9]. Essential for the resolution of PI are dressings with the use of various active dressings and topical solutions for cleaning and debridement.…”

Introduction: Pressure injuries represent a significant and prevalent public health problem in bedridden and institutionalized patients. The correct management of pressure injuries is essential for preventing complications, enhancing patient well-being, and reducing the overall burden on healthcare systems. It underscores the importance of a holistic and patient-centered approach to wound care. Preventive measures and the action of a multidisciplinary team are essential to the correct treatment of pressure injuries. There are multiple active dressings and topical solutions to treat and protect the wounds, among them the hyperoxygenated fatty acids, such as Abzolem®. Objective: Evaluate and verify the effectiveness and safety of the use of Abzolem® in the treatment of patients with pressure injuries grade I and II. Materials and methods: an exploratory study was carried out on 6 patients residing in a long-term establishment in Santiago of Chile with grade I and II pressure injuries in which Abzolem® was used for twice-daily dressings. Results: The use of Abzolem® led to a significant improvement in grade I pressure injuries in 10 ± 3 days and grade II pressure injuries in 15 ± 3 days, without related adverse events and with good tolerance by patients. Conclusion: The use of hyperoxygenated fatty acids, such as Abzolem® corresponds to a safe therapeutic alternative, easy to apply, and effective in the treatment of grade I and II pressure injuries.
