Nursing Homes, June, 2005
Hatch[R] ShearStop[TM] Elbow and Heel Pads with LiquiCell[R] technology help prevent bed sores by reducing both pressure and shear stress (the primary causes of decubitus ulcers) through constant liquid flotation and soft foam padding. The pads are compact, lightweight, and comfortable to wear.

By using a combination of low-viscosity fluid and strategically placed baffles that control the flow, the LiquiCell inserts reduce tissue shear stress and pressure, and absorb shock. Constructed of a lightweight urethane membrane, the LiquiCell inserts will not burst or freeze. Hatch ShearStop Elbow and Knee Pads are machine washable.
