Pressure injuries remain a significant challenge in clinical care, often resulting from sustained mechanical stress at vulnerable anatomical sites. This session explores the emerging science behind frictional energy absorber effectiveness (FEAE) and its role in reducing tissue deformation and stress concentrations that contribute to pressure injury formation. This session will equip clinicians with actionable knowledge to enhance pressure injury prevention through mechanical force mitigation and advanced dressing selection.<br>
<br>
Learning Objectives:<br>
1) Explain etiologic factors in development of pressure injuries<br>
2) Review what is new in pressure injury prevention<br>
3) Devise a comprehensive plan for pressure injury prevention<br>
4) Explain how the foam dressing mitigates pressure and shear and prevents pressure injuries<br>
