<p>A device (1) serving for preventing and/or treating decubitus on a user of the device by means of pressure impulses in a fluid (5) in the device. Its main components are a ticking (2) containing the fluid (5) and a pump (10) for generating the pressure impulses in this fluid. The ticking (2) is divided into a number of channels (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) each having an associated pump (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) arranged to adjust the pressure in the fluid (5) quickly and selectively. Thereby a structure is obtained that generates pressure impulses in a thin fluid layer immediately against the patient's skin which gives a suprisingly good effect even with relatively weak pressure impulses.</p> |
