- Transport flat to avoid tears and punctures.

2. Indication
It is easier to prevent pressure ulcers than to treat them. Bedsores can be avoided by changing frequently lying or seating positions to avoid stress on the skin and to minimize the risk of pressure on vulnerable bony areas. Other strategies include skin care, regular skin inspections and good nutrition. Using a gel or foam cushion can help relieve pressure and make sure that the body is correctly positioned in the chair.
