Selecting the right foam pad involves considering several factors:
- Patient Needs: Assess the specific needs of the patient, such as their risk of developing pressure ulcers, level of mobility, and personal comfort preferences. - Material: Choose a material that offers the right balance of softness and support. Memory foam is often recommended for its ability to conform to the body’s shape. - Thickness and Density: Thicker and denser pads provide better support and durability but may be less breathable.
