using support surfaces

When Should Support Surfaces be Used?

Support surfaces should be considered in the following scenarios:
Post-Surgical Care: After major gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomy or pelvic reconstruction, patients may be immobile for days or weeks, necessitating the use of support surfaces to prevent complications.
Chronic Conditions: Conditions like chronic pelvic pain or severe uterine fibroids can limit mobility, making support surfaces beneficial.
Pregnancy Complications: In cases of high-risk pregnancies where bed rest is prescribed, support surfaces can help maintain maternal comfort and prevent pressure ulcers.
