Frequently asked questions
Does this pad effectively prevent pressure ulcers?
Yes, the DeRoyal Decubitus Bed Pad is specifically engineered to minimize friction and pressure, which are the primary contributors to decubitus ulcer formation. It acts as a protective interface to support skin integrity for immobile patients.
Can this be used on a standard chair?
Absolutely. While it is excellent for hospital beds, its versatile design makes it highly suitable for use on standard medical seating chairs, providing consistent pressure relief wherever the patient is positioned.
Is the foam core durable for daily use?
The pad features a high-quality, durable foam core manufactured by DeRoyal. It is designed to maintain its shape and provide reliable cushioning to alleviate pressure points and shear forces during regular movement.
What is the benefit of the polyester cover?
The polyester cover serves two vital functions:
- Friction Reduction: It provides a soft outer layer that slides easily against skin or linens.
- Patient Comfort: It adds a layer of softness, ensuring the patient remains comfortable while the foam core provides the necessary structural support.
Is this suitable for home-care environments?

How large is the surface area of the pad?
The pad measures 40 inches in length by 30 inches in width, offering a generous surface area to support patients while resting or seated.
Does the pad help with shear forces?
Yes, by utilizing a supportive foam core, the pad effectively absorbs shear forces that occur during patient repositioning, significantly reducing the mechanical stress placed on sensitive skin.
Is this product a factory-new item?
Yes, all Decubitus Bed Pads are shipped as factory-new units directly from DeRoyal, ensuring you receive a product that meets strict clinical standards.
How does this fit with existing bed linens?
The pad is designed to be streamlined and unobtrusive. Its flat, rectangular profile allows it to lay smoothly across standard bed linens, making it easy to incorporate into existing patient care protocols.
Is the material suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the combination of the supportive foam core and soft polyester cover is specifically selected to be gentle on the skin, reducing irritation and the risk of friction-related injuries for high-risk patients.
