An apparatus (100, 200, 300+301, 400, 500, 600, 700) is disclosed for placement on a support surface (101, 201, 301, 401, 601, 701) between the support surface (101, 201, 301, 401, 601, 701) and a living being (108), wherein the living being (108) has a bony prominence (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631). The apparatus (100, 200, 300+301, 400, 500, 600, 700) includes a first zone (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712) having a first coefficient of friction, the first zone (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712) being config-ured for positioning proximate the bony prominence (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631). A second zone (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713) is adjacent the first zone (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712), the second zone (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713) having a sec-ond coefficient of friction higher than the first coeffi-cient of friction. The second zone (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713) is configured for positioning remote from the bony prominence (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631). A method of preventing or healing decubi-tus ulcers includes positioning the bony prominence (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631) over the first zone (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712) and positioning an area remote from the bony prominence (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631) over the second zone (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713).
La présente invention concerne un appareil (100, 200, 300+301, 400, 500, 600, 700) destiné à être placé sur une surface de soutien (101, 201, 301, 401, 601, 701) entre la surface de soutien (101, 201, 301, 401, 601, 701) et un être vivant (108), l'être vivant (108) ayant une proéminence osseuse (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631). L'appareil (100, 200, 300+301, 400, 500, 600, 700) comprend une première zone (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712) ayant un premier coefficient de frottement, la première zone (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712) étant conçue pour positionner la proéminence osseuse (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631). Une seconde zone (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713) est adjacente à la première zone (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712), la seconde zone (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713) ayant un second coefficient de frottement supérieur au premier coefficient de frottement. La seconde zone (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713) est conçue pour être positionnée loin de la proéminence osseuse (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631). L'invention concerne un procédé de prévention ou de cicatrisation des escarres de décubitus consistant à positionner la proéminence osseuse (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631) sur la première zone (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712) et positionner une région éloignée de la proéminence osseuse (103, 104a, 104b, 105a, 105b, 626, 627a, 627b, 628a, 628b, 629a, 629b, 630a, 630b, 631) sur la seconde zone (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713).
