Prevention is the best treatment.
Lifeloom’s bedding is recognized by the FDA as a Class I Medical Device for pressure injuries, and offers proactive skin protection with a smooth, silk-like surface, virtually eliminating skin injuries, friction and abrasiveness.
Our bedding also helps manage moisture and heat control, through a technology that wicks moisture away from the skin, increasing evaporation and decreasing abrasion.
Real Results.
Abrasive bedding can lead to painful, irritating bedsores. Our fabric uses a continuous-filament yarn to provide an ultra-smooth finish and breathability that virtually eliminates abrasiveness. When compared with standard hospital bedding for 307 patients at risk of pressure wound development in an acute-care renal unit over a six-month period, bedding made with DermaTherapy® fabric technology resulted in:
- 62% Fewer Pressure Injuries Developed
- 90% More Pressure Injuries Resolved
- 40% Fewer Pressure Injuries at Discharge
- 11% Fewer Days in the Hospital

"The fabric is designed to reduce friction, which allows a patient to move easily across the bed, making it less likely that a patient’s weakened or moist skin could develop a pressure ulcer or bedsore."
