1.1 General information

Essential nursing care is pivotal in pressure ulcer prevention.
The Invacare Viscomixt®mattress will positively contribute to the
outcome of a pressure ulcer prevention care plan.
Education, clinical judgement and action based planning based on vulne-
rability are fundamental factors in prevention of pressure ulcers.
A range of assessment scales can be used as a formal method of
assessing risk from pressure ulcer development, and should be used in
conjunction with an informal assessment (informed nursing judge-
ment). Informal assessment is considered to be of greater importance
and clinical value.
Please heed all the notes, particularly the safety information, and act
accordingly.
Should you require more information on the Invacare Viscomixt®
mattress please refer to the Invacare Mattress Brochure and
contact details on the back page of this User Manual.
