With the decubitus trainer, nursing and medical students can learn about professional assessment (examination, measurement and description), wound care and bandaging techniques in various stages of decubitus. This training can considerably improve standards in recognizing and taking care of decubitus in real patients.

The material of the decubitus trainer is flexible and can help provide realistic training in changing and putting on dressings and bandages, which form a considerable part of nursing and wound care.

The following decubitus stages are shown on the trainer:

• Decubitus grade 1 (greater trochanter – right)
• Decubitus grade 2 (buttocks – right)
• Decubitus grade 3 (buttocks – left)
• Decubitus grade 4 (greater trochanter – left, sacrum)
