Support surface is a medical term used to describe materials such as mattress es that support people who are bed ridden through illness. Research and development of appropriate support surfaces can alleviate some of the complications of immobility, such as bedsore s and respiration physiology respiratory problems. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel s NPUAP Support Surface Standards Initiative S3I has released the first version of its Terms and Definitions Document. This set of definitions is provided in an attempt to redefine commonly used and confused terms. The terms describe support surface features, components, categories, and performance characteristics. The Terms and Definitions Document and an evaluation form can be found at http www.npuap.org pdf NPUAP S3I TD.pdf NPUAP s site Problems of immobility As long as people have been bed ridden through illness, they have fallen victim to the complications of immobility.
