Wound Healing in the Long-Term Acute Care Setting Using an Air Fluidized Therapy/Continuous Low-Pressure Therapeutic Bed: A Multiple Case Series

CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this multiple case series suggest that the AFT/CLP bed facilitates healing of advanced wounds in medically complex patients when included as part of a wound care program. Despite mild to high risk, no new PIs developed, and severe PIs and large tissue defects significantly improved or completely resolved. One hundred percent of surveyed staff members recommend use of the AFT/CLP bed.
