Evidence-based practice enhances patient outcomes: Early pressure ulcer detection with biocapacitance technology among critically ill patients.

Background: In pressure ulcers (PUs), significant tissue damage often develops beneath the skin before any visual or tactile symptoms manifest. The breakthrough technology of the SEM Scanner identifies localized micro-edema that forms at tissue depths of several millimeters up to 4 cm. This empowers critical care nurses to implement proactive preventive measures.
