Abstract：Objective To design a multi-functional pressure sores protective pad, and to explore the
clinical application effect of the multi-functional protective pads on the pressure ulcers. Methods The
multi-functional pressure sores protective pad was designed to the structure of semi-circular trapezoidal.
It included the main body and wedge-shaped pad. There was a part of shallow on the side of the main
body, which matched closely with the detachable wedge-shaped pad via a Velcro strip. 201 high-risk
patients whose Braden scores less than 12 points and 32 patients who suffered pressure ulcers were
separately used multi-functional protective pads to prevent pressure ulcers, and the pressure ulcers,
treatment effect and patients’ satisfaction were recorded. Results Among the 201 high-risk patients,
the pressure ulcer was not developed in 199 patients, and 2 elderly patients suffered inevitable pressure
ulcers, and the protective efficiency was 99.00%. For the 32 patients that were with spontaneous
pressure sore and the inevitable pressure ulcer, 29 patients that were with pressure ulcer in stage Ⅰ～Ⅲ
were cured, and the granulation tissue grown for the 3 patients that suffered with Ⅳ pressure ulcer. The
survey of patients’ satisfaction indicated that the satisfaction rate was 100%. Conclusion The multifunctional
pressure sores protective pad can solve the needs of patients in turning over and turning corner
effectively, as well as avoiding the second pressure. It can reduce the incidence of pressure sores and can
perform a positive effect in the treatment pressure ulcer. This design is simple, and it is easy to operate.
Meanwhile, it is a multi-purpose protective pad. Thus, it is worthy of clinical promotion and using.
