ABSTRACT:
A device for reducing the incidence and severity of dermal conditions such as bedsores and anoxic pressure necrosis of the scalp including a pad disposable on a horizontal support surface, the pad having a cavity or chamber at least partially filled with a fluidic substance. A pressurization component is operatively connected to the pad for shifting the fluidic substance in the cavity, thereby modifying pressure distribution in the cavity. An additional component is operatively connected to the pad for automatically applying a medicinal composition to an upper surface of the pad. This medicine applicator may include an ejector mechanism or a spray nozzle for dispensing a liquid film over the pad. In one embodiment of the invention, the medication applicator is disposed in the same housing as the pressurization component.
