THE PRESSURE INJURY PROBLEM

Sacral Pressure is the leading cause of preventable hospital complications in the United States¹⁴ with the three primary contributing factors for bedsores being pressure, friction, and shear.¹⁵

Patients are more at-risk for developing a pressure injury when they are unable to change position easily while seated or in bed, leading to morbidity and increased healthcare costs.¹⁶

2.5M patients per year develop a pressure injury¹³

60,000 patients die every year as a direct result of pressure injuries¹²

$86,300 is the average patient care cost per pressure injury¹¹

THE IMPACT ON HOSPITAL STAFF

Transferring, lifting, boosting, and repositioning patients is the leading cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in healthcare¹⁷

Back injuries due to manual handling remain the #1 injury reported in healthcare¹⁸ ¹⁹

The cumulative weight a nurse may have to lift during an 8-hour shift is equal to 1.8 tons (or 9 tons per week) ²⁰
