ABSTRACT:
A mat assembly is provided to prevent and to treat bedsores. A draw sheet is used to shift or displace the patient on the mattress of the bed. A pole attached to the draw sheet is provided for grasping by the user to uniformly shift or move the patient. A displacement mat is placed between the draw sheet and the mattress in order to facilitate shifting of the patient. A scale may be placed on the draw sheet to facilitate recordation of shifting occurring during treatment of the patient. The mattress is preferably one which has a convoluted surface with dispersed ridges and depressions which thereby present a differing profile in terms of pressure which is transmitted to the patient lying thereon.
