A recent news release reports that the BodiTrak is engineered to use advanced electronic sensors with built-in smart USB electronics and three-dimensional, stretchable, breathable pressure mapping sensing material.The technology translates into a reading intended to closely represent what is occurring in a load-bearing surface, promoting tissue protection and pressure ulcer prevention. Andrew Frank, vice president of sales and marketing, PatienTech/Vista Medical, adds that the technology is based upon patented Smart elastic fabric, and aims to enhance ease of use and maintenance.
