Abstract
1) Anti-Decubitor and Gent-L-Pulse are very effective in preventing decubitus, especially in case of patients who can not change their postures.
2) A rapid recovery of decubitus, which has already been inflicted, can be made by the use of this device, compared with the recovery without the aid of this. Moreover edema and fibrosis of the surrounding tissue of decubitus are very rare, and decubitus-plasty of rotation flap method is practicable.
3) Its constant use does not disturb sleep, as there is almost no vibration noise in the motor of the pump. But, the use of this bed above the shoulder is uncomfortable, so the use below the shoulder is desirable. The pillow-pad as illustrated in the fig. 6 is suitable for the part treatment, as in the back, the waist and the leg.
4) It can be widely applied in case of not only a spinal damage but a fracture of the old people, which is often in danger of producing decubitus.
