“This changes everything we know about pressure ulcer care”,
NHS Isle of Wight, Glenn Smith
“These results were a combination of incidence reduction, good nursing care and advanced technology. The SEM Scanner, by providing evidence of early PU/PI damage and engaging patients and their families, helps our hospital teams protect patients and their loved ones from the potentially life-threatening repercussions of pressure ulcers.”
