Pressure-management bandage, silicone

A pressure-management bandage made of silicone is a non-sterile, reusable device designed to be placed over bony prominences or high-friction areas of the body to reduce pressure and shear forces. It helps prevent or manage pressure injuries and friction sores in individuals with limited mobility, such as those confined to beds or wheelchairs, by distributing load and minimizing skin breakdown.

This category includes devices shaped for specific anatomical sites like heels, elbows, or the sacrum, as well as generic pads and sheets. As a single-patient reusable product, it is intended for repeated use on the same individual after appropriate cleaning, and is supplied for use in both clinical and home care settings without requiring sterility.
