Increasing knowledge of the pathophysiology of pressure sores influences our thoughts on the best methods of meeting the Department of Health (1993) target of a 5-10% reduction in the incidence of pressure sores. Elderly people are one of the most at-risk groups as they tend to suffer disproportionately from neurological and cardiovascular disease. Patients suffering with shock, dehydration and prolonged hypothermia due to some traumatic event feature high on the at-risk category, especially if the patient lies for any period of time on an unprotected accident and emergency (A&E) or theatre trolley. Spenco Healthcare International has developed Improtec, a specially designed range of high-quality, cost-effective products for use in (A&E) units, treatment rooms, operating theatres, hospital wards and the community.
对压疮病理生理学认识的不断增加，影响着我们对于实现卫生部（1993年）提出的将压疮发生率降低5% - 10%这一目标的最佳方法的思考。老年人是风险最高的群体之一，因为他们往往更容易患神经和心血管疾病。因某些创伤事件而遭受休克、脱水和长时间体温过低的患者在高危类别中占比很高，尤其是当患者在无防护的急诊室（A&E）或手术室推车上躺了一段时间的情况下。斯奔可国际医疗保健公司开发了Improtec，这是一系列专门设计的高品质、高性价比产品，适用于急诊室、治疗室、手术室、医院病房及社区。
