Dear  

It's a fact that bears repeating: more than one million people develop pressure ulcers every year in the US. The ability to prevent and treat pressure ulcers is vital to the success of patient care.

The first component of that treatment and prevention plan is assessment. That's why this month, we're sending along the article linked to the right, "Incidence of Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers in Acute Care Using Two Different Risk Assessment Scales: Results of a Retrospective Study," a look at the use of both the Braden Scale and the Skin Scoring Test. We think you'll find the article informative and useful.

With that in mind, come see us at Booth 224 at the 43rd  WOCN Annual Conference .  We'll be there, showing our new  HeelSafe™  DVT Hose, our new ankle foot orthosis, the Heelift^® AFO, and of course  the Heelift^® Suspension Boot. Pick up a Sample Request Form, so you can see for yourself how DM Systems helps your patients.

Can't make it to New Orleans? Visit our website, where you'll find more clinical papers, our Heelift Savings Calculator,  and more.
