Levabo Pressure Sore and Ulcer Prevention
Pressure ulcers and pressure sores are the result of persistent pressure or shear of the skin and underlying tissues – typically in places on the body where the bones are close to the skin and where there is little fat.
Pressure occurs when a person’s weight is pressed down against the ground. Whether the person is lying, sitting or standing, the pressure is transmitted to the underlying tissue and the tissue is compressed between the surface and the bone.
The Levabo product range has been developed in collaboration with leading European wound care nurses, ensuring optimum comfort and hygiene in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers and sores.

Pressure ulcers are the result of persistent pressure or shear of the skin and underlying tissues – typically in places on the body where the bones are close to the skin and where there is little fat.
Pressure occurs when a person’s weight is pressed down against the ground. Whether the person is lying, sitting or standing, the pressure is transmitted to the underlying tissue and the tissue is compressed between the surface and the bone.
Muscle tissue does not tolerate as much pressure as skin. Therefore, the damage will occur close to the bone and often only be visible on the skin 1-2 weeks after it has been exposed to pressure. Shear causes torsion, which damages tissues and blood vessels. This means that less pressure is needed to reduce blood flow to the injured area.
Therefore, pressure damage to tissues exposed to shear will occur more quickly. Pressure is caused by failure to change position or external pressure from, for example, medical equipment such as oxygen and catheters. Shear occurs when the body is moved without being lifted off the ground. This can happen, for example, when a person sits with a raised headboard and slides into bed.
Pressure is reduced when it is distributed over a larger area. This can be achieved with good foam mattresses, frequent position changes and pillows and mattresses with stationary air. Levabo offers this, and our range of pressure relieving products can help you prevent and treat pressure ulcers effectively and gently.
