Recommendations

     

 We purchased an aid for wearing pressure gloves for an injured soldier, who found it difficult to put on the glove by himself since he lost all feeling in his hand and arm. Customer service was very helpful before and after the purchase. The item arrived very quickly and it helps the soldier put on the glove easily. Very social and helpful service, we will definitely purchase from them again in the future. I highly recommend the company.

 I purchased the ski sheet a few months ago. Since I started using it, all transitions from the bed to the wheelchair and back have become much simpler and almost effortless. So is my shift on the bed itself. I recommend the product everywhere.

 I suffer from a pressure sore, I turned to Medtex to purchase a sheet that will help me heal the pressure sore and also make it easier to reposition in bed. The bedsheet helps me a lot, and thanks to it, reposition in bed is very simple. In addition, the bedsheet also helps heal my pressure sore and even eliminates the feeling of heat caused to me as a result of using ointments to treat the pressure sore. 

Haim Mendelssohn: Beit Shemesh

 My husband has difficulty moving, I purchased a non-slip bedsheet and since then my husband has been able to roll over in bed on his own. The great advantage of the sheet is that it clings to the bed and does not move when changing position in bed and is therefore simple to use and very effective. Thank you very much. 

Gila Tzur: The Golan Heights

 My wife suffers from muscular dystrophy and as a result a pressure sore started in her sacral I called Medtex and they recommended on an undergarment that treat a pressure sore and can also be used over a diaper. Because the undergarment is made of 2 layers of fabric moving on top of each other, it prevented the friction and within a short time a significant improvement was seen in the pressure sore and after another period the wound healed. We continue to use the undergarment for future prevention of pressure ulcer 

Yitzhak Cohen: Jerusalem

 We have previously purchased 2 sliding sheets from 2 different companies and none of them have helped us. We called to Medtex and after they understood our needs they fitted us a fitted sliding bedsheet with that attached to the bed mattress and another sliding bedsheet that we place on the flat bedsheet . Combining these two bedsheets is the only solution that has helped us and allowed our son’s caregiver to turn him in bed easily. The cost of this solution was significantly lower than any of the bedsheets we had purchased in the past from other companies. Well done for the service, attitude and commitment of Medtex. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.

Questions and Answers

Bed sores are caused by a combination of pressure and friction. When people at-risk of developing bed sores are sedentary for long periods, it puts sustained pressure on parts of the body. This can cut off the skin’s blood supply which causes it to gradually decay. Moving regularly will relieve this pressure, but it also introduces friction which can cause early-stage pressure ulcers to tear and degenerate. Friction is the force of two surfaces rubbing against one another, for example: a patient’s body and the seat of a wheelchair, or the top of a mattress. We all experience this whenever our skin rubs against a surface; it’s mainly a superficial movement when skin is in a healthy condition. However, when combined with sustained pressure, it can cause what’s known as shearing. When pressure and friction are combined, it can cause the layers of skin, fat, and muscle to move laterally relative to the bone underneath. This can contribute to bed sore formation and degradation as unhealthy skin may tear, increasing the risk of infection.
Caring for bed sores can be demanding but maintaining a good care regimen is key to preventing more serious conditions from developing. Several different terms are used to define bed sores (decubitus ulcers, pressure ulcers, etc.), but each of these defines the same underlying condition. They refer to an area of skin that has been weakened or broken by a combination of rubbing and sustained pressure. The simplest method for reducing the risk of bed sores developing, therefore, is moving carefully and often to protect vulnerable areas from such conditions. However, the simplest method is not always the easiest. As mentioned, caring for bed sores in a home environment requires a strict routine of regular and controlled movement to alleviate pressure on affected or at-risk areas. It is best to use soft, low-friction fabrics to moderate the friction and shear caused by these movements. Various products are available to help with this, wherever the affected areas may be. For example, Parafricta bedding allows users to easily and comfortably turn in bed without shearing vulnerable areas of the body (hips, trunk, etc.). Maintaining a careful movement schedule with low-friction fabrics is the foundation of any bed sore treatment plan. Although the rate and frequency of movements should be determined on a patient-to-patient basis, a general rule of thumb suggests that at-risk patients in bed should move at least once every two hours. For people who are sitting for prolonged periods, it is recommended to move once every fifteen minutes. Most stage one and two bed sores can be managed successfully at home, using a combination of careful repositioning with low-friction fabric products and strict hygiene regimes. More severe bed sores may require treatment in a hospital or care home. Parafricta® low-friction fabric known for its silk-like qualities. It has demonstrated unique potential in helping remediate bed sores and reducing the risk of their formation in at-risk individuals. If you would like more information about using Parafricta® fabrics to help treat bed sores at home, simply contact Medtex Israel 00972507213213
Parafricta low-friction fabric is a proprietary material with an extremely low coefficient of friction (0.2). This means it reduces the friction between two surfaces better than many traditional textiles, including satin or silk. It is used to manufacture easy-turn bedsheets that can improve the comfort of patients living with a range of skin conditions, including bed sores. Parafricta bootees and undergarments are also available for more targeted bed sore treatment and prevention, protecting vulnerable areas like the base of the spine, buttocks, and heels. These are all-but-guaranteed to eliminate shear and help ease the discomfort of bed sores. Parafricta low-friction fabric is an exclusive technology to APA Parafricta Limited, a wound care company established to help ease the pain of people in acute hospitals, care homes, and out in communities. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of the technology in several studies, but it was also critical to us that these products be cost-effective and reusable to ensure those suffering from bed sores are receiving a high-quality product that continues to provide relief for extended periods of time. If you or anyone you know is suffering from bed sores, contact a MEDTEX ISRAEL today to find out how we can help.
Low-friction fabrics help ease bed sores by regulating the friction between a patient’s body and various surfaces. This significantly reduces the risk of bed sores tearing due to shear forces and helps patients maintain a safe adjustment schedule to manage pressure. Products used to help manage friction typically target commonly affected areas, like the base of the spine and the heels. Medical teams may recommend bedding, bootees, and undergarments to help protect early-stage bed sores from progressing any further, and as a precautionary measure for people that are deemed at risk.
Friction elimination is a new technique in pressure ulcer management, which has historically typically focussed on redistribution of pressure. Parafricta low-friction fabric has enabled the manufacture of a new generation of garments and products for bedsore management and prevention, including: Undergarments: Low-friction undergarments are a comfortable way of combatting pressure ulcers affecting the hips and buttocks. Bootees: Parafricta bootees target the heels of your feet and reduce heel friction associated with agitation in bed. Bedding: Pressure-relieving mattresses are complemented by low-friction fabric bedding, which offers comprehensive protection from friction and shear to every part of your body.
The products are washable and reusable, thus allowing those suffering from a pressure sore to continue using the products even after the wound has healed in order to prevent the future development of a pressure sore.
Medtex specializes in treatment and prevention of pressure ulcers and in helping reposition.
