Nocubi offers an automated pressure relief system designed to prevent bedsores (decubitus ulcers) in immobile individuals. Their system uses a unique, patent-pending design to automatically and effectively redistribute pressure, offering advantages over existing solutions for patients such as seniors or paraplegics.

Problem
Immobile patients, such as seniors or paraplegics, are at high risk of developing pressure sores (decubitus ulcers) due to prolonged static pressure on certain areas of the body. Current methods of pressure relief often require frequent manual repositioning by caregivers, which is labor-intensive and can disrupt the patient's rest. Existing support surfaces may not adequately address the underlying physiological processes needed to maintain tissue health.
Solution
Nocubi offers a dynamic lying system designed to prevent pressure sores by actively and automatically redistributing pressure. The system features 48 individually sprung rollers that move in a continuous flow beneath the patient, creating a gentle, continuous shift in pressure along the longitudinal axis of the body. This targeted movement supports the physiological processes in the tissue and promotes circulation, reducing the need for manual repositioning. The system is designed for use in clinics, care facilities, and home care settings, and it maintains the patient's preferred sleeping position while promoting comfort and regeneration.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients at high risk of developing pressure sores, such as those in acute and intensive care, rehabilitation, long-term care facilities, and those receiving home care.
