Reactive Pressure Redistribution Repose Support Surface Solutions

Benefits of Repose

3

reposedirect.com/footcareComfortableRepose is breathable and has no sharp edges, increasing comfort, compliance and prevents tissue damage.

SupportDedicated sales and clinical support ensure clinicians and patients are supported every step of the care pathway

DurableIf cared for correctly, Repose will provide pressure ulcer prevention for several years5.

Smart Valve TechnologyEasy and reliable, Repose Smart Valve Technology ensures optimal inflation.

Healthcare professionals involved in the treatment and prevention of pressure ulcers are often faced with time constraints, limited resources and increasing budget pressures all of which can impact on patient outcomes.

Repose® is a range of reactive air, pressure redistribution and reduction support surfaces, all with high levels of immersion and envelopment. A combination of unique materials and Smart Valve Technology, has been clinically proven to deliver statistically significant patient benefits.1

Unlike, other reactive air products and dynamic systems, through Randomized Control Trials, Repose reduces peak and average pressures and consistently delivers low levels of pressure ulcer incidence, in a cost effective, easy to use system.1-5

Repose is indicated for the prevention of pressure ulcers for patients at very high risk and treatment of all categories of pressure ulcer when used as part of a package of care.1-5

Agreement on the number of pressure ulcers that are preventable is contentious, but as every pressure ulcer has the potential to increase the length of hospital stays, reduce the quality of life and increase patient mortality, they should be prevented whenever possible.

The EPUAP International Guidelines 2019 (Guideline 7.5) recommends the use of a reactive air mattress overlay for individuals at risk for developing pressure ulcers. As an individual immerses (sinks) into the support surface, weight can be redistributed over a larger area. If the surface also envelops (i.e. conforms to the shape of) the individual, the pressure on the body will be more evenly distributed especially over bony prominences where pressure injuries typically develop.13

The current NICE guidelines include the consideration of use of a pressure redistribution device for patients at high risk of pressure ulcers (NICE, 2015). There are also financial implications attached to pressure ulcer damage as costs vary from £1,214 to heal a Category 1 pressure ulcer to £14,108 for a Category 4 (Dealey et al, 2012). There are also financial implications attached to pressure ulcer damage as costs vary from £1,214 to heal a Category 1 pressure ulcer to £14,108 for a Category 4 (Dealey et al, 2012).

The Repose® surface product range maximises pressure redistribution properties by the use of immersive reactive air technology. The single air cell reactive products are made from thermoplastic polyurethane with multi-stretch vapour permeable properties. The performance of reactive air has also been proven to provide better prevention of tissue damage than foam devices (Van Leen et al, 2013).

The Repose surface range is supported by a wealth of clinical evidence as reviewed by Holloway (2015) and have shown to be durable and cost effective (Poole, 2007) as well as clinically effective in treating and preventing pressure ulcers (Osterbrink et al 2005).

Repose surface solution products provide an effective pressure redistribution solution for a range of surfaces within both the community and acute setting and are indicated for the prevention of pressure ulcers for patients at very high risk and treatment of all categories of pressure ulcer when used as part of a package of care.1-5
