The pressure injury relates to damage that occurs to the skin and/or underlying tissue
as a result of pressure exerted by bone lumps or other objects on the tissue, and
represents a problem of global magnitude. The damage caused in this injury can be
prevented through repositioning practices and the use of pressure reducing devices.
As recorded in the literature, the market has absorbed several prophylactic devices.
However, not all are in compliance with the guidelines that address this type of injury.
Considering this problem, through three scientific bases (PubMed, Scopus and Web
of Science) and a technological one (Questel Orbit), this study aimed to map
prophylactic technologies in accordance with the International Guideline for
prevention and treatment of pressure injury. This study included documents
published between 2009 and 2021 and excluded those whose methodologies did not
involve the use of prophylactic technologies. Through the scientific databases, 506
publications were found and of these were selected 45 studies whose methodologies
involved products related to prophylactic dressings, seat cushions, mattress,
electronic devices, heel suspension devices, topical products and bed linen.
Regarding Questel Orbit, 328 patent records were found and of these were selected
29 patents whose descriptions referred to heel suspension devices, socks, mattress
and prophylactic dressings. In terms of scientific production, the United States of
America was the country with the highest number of selected studies, followed by
Israel and Australia. With regard to the development of patented technologies, China
has demonstrated absolute superiority with 23 technologies developed. Under the
preventive context, Australia and China were the two countries with the best results.
