Pressure Ulcer Detection Devices are medical devices used to detect and monitor pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, are areas of skin damage caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. Pressure ulcer detection devices are used to detect the presence of pressure ulcers, as well as to monitor the progression of the ulcer. These devices typically use sensors to measure the pressure on the skin, as well as the temperature and moisture of the skin. The data collected by the device is then used to assess the risk of pressure ulcer development. There are a number of companies that produce pressure ulcer detection devices. These include Hill-Rom, Invacare, ArjoHuntleigh, and Medline Industries. Other companies, such as Philips and GE Healthcare, also produce pressure ulcer detection devices as part of their larger medical device portfolios. Show Less Read more
