Bsn Medical/Jobst Bsn Medical Orthopedic Padding

The BSN Medical/Jobst Orthopedic Padding is designed with several functional attributes to protect skin integrity and prevent the development of pressure ulcers, particularly over bony prominences and existing wounds.

It achieves this protection by:

• Dissipating Pressure: It effectively distributes and dissipates localized pressure at the contact points of casts, orthoses, or prostheses.
• Preventing Shear Forces: The material does not allow shear forces, which are a major contributor to skin breakdown.
• Unloading Weight: It provides critical support by unloading weight from sensitive, at-risk areas.
• Compressibility: The padding is inherently compressible, enhancing pressure relief and conformity.

This makes it an essential prophylactic material, especially for non-compliant or high-risk patients.

Yes, this orthopedic padding is specifically designed for use with high-risk patients (including those with conditions like diabetes) to help prevent skin complications, such as ulcers.

It provides essential protection when used beneath casts, orthoses, or prostheses by focusing on three key protective functions:

• Pressure Dissipation: It is formulated to effectively dissipate localized pressure around bony prominences and wounds.
• Shear Force Prevention: The material prevents harmful shear forces from developing, which are a major contributor to skin breakdown.
• Weight Unloading: It is highly compressible, allowing it to unload weight effectively from critical pressure points.

Yes, the BSN Medical/Jobst Orthopedic Padding is specifically designed to prevent shear forces, which helps reduce the risk of skin irritation and breakdown, especially around bony prominences and wounds. This is a key feature for enhancing patient comfort and protection.

The BSN Medical/Jobst Orthopedic Padding is specifically designed for use:

• As padding within casts, orthoses, or prostheses.
• In areas where orthopedic devices contact bony prominences or wounds, as it actively dissipates localized pressure and unloads weight.
• For at-risk or non-compliant patients to help prevent the formation of pressure-related skin ulcers by minimizing shear forces.

Yes, this specialized orthopedic padding is made using Undercast Sifoam.

This material is optimized for use beneath casts, orthoses, or prostheses, offering several crucial protective functions:

• Pressure Management: It effectively dissipates localized pressure, providing offloading around bony prominences and wounds.
• Shear Reduction: The construction is engineered to prevent damaging shear forces on the skin.
• Weight Unloading: Sifoam is compressable and serves to unload weight from sensitive areas, helping to prevent skin ulcers in at-risk patients.

The general specification for this product is an 8” x 9” size, packaged 10 units per box.

The padding is designed to be compressible, allowing it to effectively unload weight around areas of contact. This feature helps to reduce pressure and minimize the risk of skin ulcers, particularly for at-risk patients.

Yes, the BSN Medical/Jobst Orthopedic Padding is specifically designed to effectively dissipate pressure around wounds and bony prominences, enhancing patient comfort and reducing the risk of irritation.

Yes, this orthopedic padding is specifically designed for use wherever padding is required between the skin and orthopedic devices like casts or prostheses, especially where bony prominences are present. Its construction actively dissipates localized pressure in these vulnerable areas.

Yes, a key functional attribute of this orthopedic padding is that it is compressible. This feature contributes to patient comfort and allows it to conform effectively to the body’s contours.

Yes, this padding has a crucial protective function: it can prevent skin ulcers for non-compliant or at-risk patients. Its design helps dissipate pressure and prevent shear forces, which are major contributors to ulcer formation.
