CA 2528218

A device for the prevention or treatment of ulcers includes an absorbent layer (20) and an upper layer (30, 84) which may be transparent or opaque, and is preferably curved downward to engage the absorbent layer and minimize contact to the ulcer. A sensor or signaling member is provided for outputting an electrical signal in response to the flexible deformation of the upper layer indicative of the excessive pressure. A warning member, such as a light or alarm, is responsive to the signaling member for notifying the patient or caregiver of excessive pressure. In another embodiment, the device includes a plurality of shear detector sensors for outputting an electrical signal in response to shear movement between the absorbent layer and the patient's skin.

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour la prévention ou le traitement d'ulcères comprenant une couche absorbante (20) et une couche supérieure (30, 84) qui peut être transparente ou opaque, et courbée de préférence vers le bas afin d'être insérée dans la couche absorbante et de réduire au minimum le contact avec l'ulcère. Un capteur ou un élément de signalisation permet d'émettre un signal électrique en réaction à la déformation souple de la couche supérieure indiquant une pression excessive. Un élément d'avertissement, notamment une lumière ou une alarme, réagit à l'élément de signalisation et avertit le patient ou le soignant qu'il y a pression excessive. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif comporte une pluralité de capteurs de cisaillement permettant d'émettre un signal électrique en réaction au mouvement de cisaillement entre la couche absorbante et la peau du patient.
