CuroCell iA® is a Care of Sweden innovation. It has been developed to enable a system to sense, learn and take action whenever the high pressure that can cause ulcers/injuries arises. It takes learnings from years of research and development and applies them to a support surface for widespread use in a range of care settings, such as home care. By accepting that the problem is complex, our R&D team could also let go of the solution having to be simply one thing or the other. The system would have to be autonomus. It would have to be ready to adjust itself to the patient’s need of pressure relief, second by second. With Gentle Alternating Low Pressure™, the CuroCell iA® system makes the step from mechanical to digital, from manual to autonomus, and from on-off comfort valves to a fine tuning of total support that we’ve never been able to deliver before in this segment. The Story According to Hippocrates’ precept, care is a matter of time and opportunity. A patient who develops a pressure ulcer needs on average 15.5 days of additional care(1) and pressure ulcers/injuries can take five months or more to heal(2). So, the fact that a large proportion of these injuries are avoidable is an important opportunity. We want to give our caregivers more time for caring. We want to shorten, or prevent altogether, the time a patient must spend in pain and discomfort due to pressure ulcers/injuries. We want to use vital resources more effectively so that offering a good standard of care is economically sustainable. Our understanding of pressure ulcers/injuries has deepened with time.
