Unveiling the Landscape of Pressure Injuries: Insights from Kalogon’s Inaugural Seating and Sitting Survey Unveiling the Landscape of Pressure Injuries: Insights from Kalogon’s Inaugural Seating and Sitting Survey February 2024 Pressure injuries pose a devastating threat, affecting the lives of 2.5 million people per year with around 60,000 deaths annually within the United States alone. Pressure injuries manifest as localized skin injuries in areas subjected to prolonged pressure, typically occurring over bony prominences. The findings in this survey underscore the critical importance of understanding and addressing PIs, a leading cause of preventable death. Covered topics: Inaugural Seating & Sitting Survey The Impact of Pressure Injuries Pressure Injury Stages & Vulnerable Areas Demographic Insights Discomfort & Sensations of Prolonged Sitting Understanding Diverse Seating Needs Open the insights or read more below A common assumption is that PIs apply solely to individuals who use a wheelchair. The U.S population consists of a diverse array of individuals, each with their own unique needs and varying levels of mobility. A total of 166 respondents in the US Rep population reported that they have a disability that requires them to sit for extended periods of time. Among this population, respondents reported utilizing a diverse range of assistive devices. A significant number of these individuals were discovered to not use any assistive device. This underscores that the absence of an assistive device does not always mean an absence of extended sitting, putting individuals at risk for pressure injury. Among the 132 respondents who experience PIs, a notable percentage reported feelings of stiffness, soreness, and numbness. A significant proportion of the 913 respondents who haven’t experienced a pressure injury selected “stiffness” as a sensation they experience. Along with detailing the sensations experienced by individuals with PIs, this data was cross-referenced with the specific locations on the body where these sensations occur. The majority or individuals, regardless of whether or not they have experienced a pressure injury, share common experience: discomfort after sitting for extended periods of time. A staggering amount of individuals reported sensation in the back and legs. At some point in their life, the average U.S citizen will inevitably feel uncomfortable when required to sit for any reason. Pressure injuries progress through a series of stages, with a relatively equal distribution of these stages observed among our respondents. Approximately half of respondents (49%) reported experiencing a pressure injury from stages 2 to 3. The findings of this survey reveal a significant increase in individuals with pressure injuries within the age ranges of 25-34 & 35-44, aligning with previous studies outlining PI risk factors. The prevalence of pressure injuries among this young demographic may be the result of a higher prioritization of routine check-ins with primary care providers compared to older generations.

Explore Orbiter: your questions answered. Find in-depth information about our product orbiter, including features, benefits, and troubleshooting, in our FAQ section. Orbiter FAQs How does Orbiter work? Kalogon uses patent-pending air cell technology to analyze pressure data in real-time and intelligently adapt to deliver comfort on demand. The Orbiter from Kalogon redistributes support away from sensitive areas, facilitating maximum comfort. The cushion senses how the user is sitting and algorithms intelligently adapt to offload pressure from their buttocks and thighs, aims to increase comfort in maintaining healthy blood flow and keep their skin healthy. Our cushion does the shifting for people. Users and caregivers can use a companion app to personalize their experience to support pressure injury healing and pain relief. Do you have to have a phone to use Orbiter? The phone will help to optimize and change settings as needed. It does not need to be used frequently - many people only use our smartphone app for initial setup and do not open it again after that. You really only need the phone for initial setup, and many of our users don't open the app again after that. All of the settings are saved locally on the cushion's control unit, so it will preserve your setup even with no phone near the cushion. The app connects over bluetooth, so it can be used even in locations with poor/no wifi. You can also control multiple cushions from one phone. Does the Orbiter app work on both Android and iOS? Yes! The Orbiter app is available in both the Play and the iOS stores . You can sync with Orbiter once you’ve got the app installed. Can I pick the color of fabric for my Orbiter?

Frequently Asked Questions about Orbiter Med by Kalogon Orbiter Med FAQs How do I determine if Orbiter Med is right for my patients? Kalogon relies on clinical evaluations to determine if the Orbiter Med custom cushion is appropriate for your unique seating, positioning, and i pressure management needs.

Orbiter Med is not available directly to consumers. To determine how the Orbiter Med can best meet your needs or your patient's needs, please contact the Kalogon team through the contact form or by calling +1 321-465-4504 . How can Orbiter Med be customized for my needs? Orbiter Med offers many custom design options which allow you to tailor fit Orbiter Med to your specific seating, positioning, and pressure management requirements -- additional customizations are available.

APMS is included as a standard feature in all Orbiter Med cushions, offering unparalleled pressure management and comfort by allowing a clinician to set levels of inflation, to program various presets for different seating situations, and to set the frequency of dynamic motion.
