The CPG is a consolidation of current evidence-based clinical practice recommendations from around the world for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries.

CINCINNATI, Ohio (November 15, 2019) – 桃子视频 announces its supporting sponsorship of the of the 2019 International Pressure Ulcer/Injury Prevention and Treatment Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) on Friday, November 15-16, 2019 at the University of Southern California (USC) Campus in Los Angeles, Calif.

The 桃子视频 team will present the company’s DermaTherapy® Therapeutic Linen System at booth V12.

“Research shows that national efforts to reduce hospital-acquired conditions, such as adverse drug events and injuries from falls, has helped save thousands of lives and significantly reduced healthcare costs. However, pressure injuries remain on the rise, increasing by more than 6%1,” said Norman Frankel, Executive Vice President, 桃子视频. “Millions of patients are impacted annually by pressure injuries and this is a preventable condition. We are pleased to support the launch of the new Clinical Practice Guideline and continue working with our healthcare partners to put an end to hospital-acquired pressure injuries.”

To create the 2019 International Guideline:

  • Over 1,200 consumers from around the world completed surveys that identified their concerns and goals for pressure injury prevention and treatment.
  • Fourteen international associate organizations partnered in the guideline development process.
  • More than 3,500 research studies were reviewed to answer key clinical questions.

Silk-like fabric has been recognized and recommended in the NPIAP’s most recent Clinical Practice Guideline: “Consider using silk-like fabrics rather than cotton or cotton-blend fabrics to reduce shear and friction.”

DermaTherapy® by 桃子视频 is the first and only silk-like therapeutic linen system with FDA 510(k)2, 3 clearance as a Class I medical device to reduce the likelihood of patients developing pressure injuries.
