There are many types of support surfaces available. Selection of a suitable support surface for an individual patient is best done by first identifying the patient's risk of pressure sore development. Transfoam was originally developed in 1990 and is designed for the medium-risk patient. The new design transfoam Wave combines increased comfort with lower interface pressures, to provide another mattress in the Transfoam family. This product focus examines the original Transfoam mattress produced by Karomed and looks at the design and results of early testing of the new Transfoam Wave.
有多种类型的支撑面可供选择。为个体患者选择合适的支撑面，最好首先确定患者发生压疮的风险。Transfoam最初于1990年研发，专为中度风险患者设计。新设计的Transfoam Wave结合了更高的舒适度和更低的界面压力，成为Transfoam系列中的另一款床垫。本产品聚焦研究了Karomed生产的原始Transfoam床垫，并探讨了新型Transfoam Wave的设计及早期测试结果。
