Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, are injuries on the skin formed by friction produced by the surface on which the skin is in contact. Coccyx, knees, heels, hips, and sacrum are the some of the most common type of body parts affected by pressure ulcers.

1. Shahzad Pirzada MNS 500 Low Air
System Helps in Both Cure and
Prevention of Pressure Ulcer

2. • Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, are injuries on the skin
formed by friction produced by the surface on which the skin is in
contact. Coccyx, knees, heels, hips, and sacrum are the some of the
most common type of body parts affected by pressure ulcers.
• In the following section, we shall look at some of the unique and one
of its kind devices that could greatly help in prevention and cure of
pressure ulcers.
1. MNS 500 Alternating Pressure Relief System
• Shahzad Pirzada MNS 500 low air system is a device that could
immensely help in prevention and cure of pressure ulcers.

3. • It’s a mattress with a unique technology called alternate pressure
relief system. Designed for your utmost comfort, this mattress keeps
changing the contact points at the same time gently massaging your
skin.
• This is highly effective, as the skin in continuous touch with the
mattress or other surface generally results in restricted flow of
blood, which leads to formation of sores and wounds.
• This mattress is designed in a way that ensures that the skin is not in
contact with the surface for a long interval. This reduces friction and
enhances flow of blood, thereby preventing any damage to skin
tissues.

4. • The Genadyne’s Low Air Loss System is a portable mattress that
provides the twin benefit of reducing the stress and pressure on the
skin along with keeping the skin’s moisture intact.
Some of the major benefits of this therapy mattress system
are as following:
 Cell Flotation: This mattress is constructed with eight inches of cell
floatation, which results in effective pain management. It redistributes
patient’s body pressure, which provides relief from ulcer pains and
formation of pressure ulcers.
 Extended air flow capacity: This mattress is capable of pumping 125
liters per minute of fresh dry air. This is very important, as moisturized
air hastens the process of tissue damages. Dry air, on the other
hand, prevents the growth of tissue damaging bacteria.

5.  Waterproof: Pressure ulcers are formed when the skin is in long
contact with the surface of the mattress. This happens as the
movement of the patient is restricted due to some illness or injury.
 Daily chores as such are performed on the bed. Water is bound to fall
on the mattress despite utmost precautions. A water proof mattress is
not a luxury but an utmost necessity under such circumstances.
 Vapor Permeable Technology: This technology results in formation of
low friction surface. Needless to mention, low friction will lead to
better distribution of pressure and enhanced blood flow to the soft
tissues.
• Shahzad Pirzada MNS 500 low air system has a host of other advanced
features as well. It comes equipped with a CPR valve for quick
emergency air release and three pump options in case there is a need
for quick air filling.

6. 2.Conclusion
• Pressure ulcers occur due to pressure applied to soft tissue, resulting in
completely or partially obstructed blood flow to the soft tissue.
• Injuries suffered, owing to accidents, are the most common cause of
pressure ulcers, as the patient is no position to move freely and is
usually confined to bed or wheelchair.
• Pressure ulcers are also formed by skin wetness, protein
malnutrition, and diseases that reduce blood flow to the skin or diseases
that diminish skin sensation.

7. • The best way to treat pressure ulcer is by distributing the pressure by
not allowing the patient to remain in the same position for a long time.
• Shahzad Pirzada MNS 500 low air system works both ways. It effectively
redistributes pressure by continuously changing the contact point of the
skin with the mattress and keeping the surface dry.
