The American Hospital Association states that the lifespan for hospital bed surfaces is five years.1 If your Centrella surfaces have exceeded their useful life, they may no longer be living up to their full potential. Replace your Centrella surface options today, and see for yourself how new surfaces can help you prevent pressure injuries, support patient comfort and address clinical burden.2

Pressure Injuries Are Pervasive and Urgent Issues

The clinical, economic and humanistic burdens are significant. In the United States alone:

Patients die from pressure injuries every year3

$26.8B

is spent on hospital-acquired pressure injuries — 59% of which stem from Stage III and IV events3

76%

of patients with pressure injuries experience pain stemming from these conditions4

  • Skin status
  • Mobility limitations
  • Perfusion, circulation or oxygenation factors
  • Moisture
  • Body temperature
  • Nutrition limits
  • Sensory perception limits
  • Older age
