DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Principal Objective of this Fast Track SBIR project is to develop and validate a cost-effective commercial product, TheraSense", a highly innovative active support surface bed system for the treatment and prevention of serious decubitus ulcers, commonly known as bed sores or pressure ulcers. Current advanced bed systems for both institutional and home therapy for the most deleterious and costly advanced ulcers are expensive, challenging to use, and uncomfortable for the patient, and for bariatric patients, not available. This project is aimed at using novel technology to support, float, and immerse the body to dramatically improve the best features of existing bed systems, including dynamic pressure distribution, alternating pressure and advanced ventilation, to improve and accelerate patient healing and comfort at a much reduced cost over existing advanced support systems.

描述（由申请人提供）：该快速通道 SBIR 项目的主要目标是开发和验证具有成本效益的商业产品“TheraSense”，这是一种高度创新的主动支撑表面床系统，用于治疗和预防严重的褥疮，通常目前用于治疗最有害且昂贵的晚期溃疡的先进床系统价格昂贵，使用起来很困难，并且对于患者和肥胖患者来说不舒服。旨在使用新颖的技术来支撑、漂浮和沉浸身体，以显着改善现有床系统的最佳功能，包括动态压力分布、交变压力和先进的通气，以大大降低的成本改善和加速患者的康复和舒适度超越现有的先进支持系统。
