Vestims® MRS Reduces
Incidence of Pressure Injury.
A well-maintained and functioning epidermis greatly reduces the risk of pressure injuries, emphasizing the importance of skin health and function. The groundbreaking research undertaken by the University of St Mark and St John, published at PUB MED, demonstrates that 8 weeks use of the patented Squirrel Vestim's® active mattress lead to a significant improvement in SKIN HEALTH AND FUNCTION (1). All measures were taken 2-3 hours after the participant had got out of bed, demonstrating major long term physiological changes. This supports Squirrel Medicals wider research, that its products reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers.
