Treatments tested in this trial
CLP and pulsation
DeviceAs an alternative to manual repositioning, advanced air mattress systems have been introduced to periodically relieve support pressures. A number of measurements have been used to examine the performance of support surfaces. As an example, interface pressure measurements between the individual and the support surface have been extensively used in both lab-based and clinical studies . We are now investigation the functions to reduce pressure in our new Caylis mattress

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
This trial primary aims to investigate the biomechanical (interface pressure) and physiological (microvascular function) responses to prolonged lying postures during CLP when combined with pulsation therapy on a product not yet placed on the market.
* Comfort, support and firmness scores (using a 7 point verbal rating scale ) * Interface pressure distribution (ForeSitePT, XSensor) * Transcutaneous gas levels * Microclimate measures between the participant and the support surface using temperature and humidity sensors (Sensiron SH75). * Internal Mattress air pressures
