An important issue for the treatment of pressure ulcers is the relief of pressure. A variety of mattresses have been used for this purpose, including various foam pads, air mattresses, and water beds. Acceptance has grown for the use of pressure-reducing devices such as air-fluidized beds and low-air-loss beds. These high-tech beds have been shown to dramatically reduce skin-surface pressure to levels that are less than capillary-filling pressures, even under bony prominences.
