The rapidly falling pressure tension of LIGASANO® white allows a nearly consistent distribution of the contact pressure and thus avoidance of dreaded pressure peaks.

​

LIGASANO® white and LIGASANO® orange are easy to cut. Thus arise by the ingenuity of the nursing staff adapted positioning aids such as rollers, wedges, heel shoes, etc.

​

The mechanical stimulus of LIGASANO® white promotes peripheral blood circulation during skin contact, increasing the pressure resistance of the patient. Sweat is absorbed, thus normal skin moisture and in conjunction with the mechanical stimulus also skin care. The preservation of the physiological skin environment is supported.

​

With a suitable thickness, LIGASANO® does not wrinkle, a further pressure ulcer risk is effectively prevented. The patient is always stored directly on the skin on LIGASANO® white, without intermediate layer.

​

In fact, the mixed cell structure of Ligasano white leads to permanent deformation under pressure (= memory effect). Therefore, areas exposed to anatomical convexities (e.g. heels, calves, gluteal region, shoulders, occipital region) become thinner, while those exposed to concavities retain their shape and volume. This leads to a global and even distribution of the body's weight over its total surface, giving it a virtual fluctuation.

 

Ligasano White, with a micro-granular surface, can come into contact with sensitive skin. As it is permanently deformed, the top sheet should be changed regularly, at least weekly, depending on the patient's body weight. The amount of layers of Ligasano White needed for a particular patient is directly related to their weight and varies from person to person..
