摘要
We investigated the pressure-redistributing characteristics of a 5-inch foam mattress compared with the Clinifloat slotted mattress fitted with a Platilon cover or with a tight-fitting plastic cover. We confirmed earlier work showing that a loose-fitting cover is necessary for the effectiveness of the slotted mattress.
