“…1 Such a bundle would incorporate the five key elements of (i) PU risk assessment, (ii) a structured and regular skin assessment, (iii) turning, repositioning and mobilization on an individualized schedule, (iv) reduction of pressure, friction and shear forces including the application of prophylactic silicone multilayered foam dressings and (v) facilitation of adequate nutrition. 7 In conclusion, the study by Beeckman et al 6 provides robust evidence for use of dressings in conjunction with standard PU prevention practices, as recommended in the recent international PU prevention and management guidelines. 1 This study provides important data to support clinician decision making in the judicial use of prophylactic silicone multilayered foam dressings when used in addition to standardized PU prevention bundles.…”
