<p>Pressure ulcer (PU) prevention remains a struggle for clinicians around the globe and across all transitions of care. In most situations, the use of evidence-based practice and established PU prevention guidelines provide the necessary interventions to protect patients from these devastating injuries. However, these same standards of practice are not always enough for high-risk patients, leaving clinicians to investigate adjunctive therapies to add to their PU prevention protocols.
