A flexible layered material comprises an outer skin; a first flexible fabric layer having a thickness of about 6mm to about 10mm; and a second flexible fabric layer having a thickness of about 17mm to about 22mm; wherein, in use, the outer skin is capable of facing a patient; the first fabric layer is positioned between the outer skin and the second fabric layer and comprises a plurality of first densely packed substantially parallel fibrous ribs between a first sheet proximate to the outer skin and a second sheet distant to the outer skin; and the second fabric layer comprises a plurality of second densely packed substantially parallel fibrous ribs between a third sheet proximate to the first fabric layer and a fourth sheet distant to the first fabric layer. The material is for use in an acute or hospital care setting to reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers caused either by skin shearing or the breaking down of tissue through a lack of peripheral blood flow in patients required to spend time in a reclined or sitting position.

To provide a method of improving cares by transferring and treating information on a patient, specifically information related to risks of developing pressure ulcers when the patient is cared in a plurality of settings.SOLUTION: A method includes the steps of: deciding to transfer a patient from a first care setting to a second care setting; performing a first assessment of the patient in the first care setting; preparing a transfer record of the assessment; and transferring the transfer record with the patient to the second care setting.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
