As the representative of our unit for the Wound Champion Council, I would like to recommend a product as a solution to prevent acquired pressure sores in our unit. If recent NDNQI audit shows, our unit still struggles to prevent or identify our high-risk patients for pressure sores. This audit reveals that our current method of “It takes two” nurses on checking patient’s skin on admission is not reliable and insufficient in preventing pressure ulcers. After my extensive research of looking ways to decrease the rate of unit acquired pressure ulcers in our unit, there is one particular product that stands out; the SEM scanner. I will discuss in details how this scanner is beneficial to our unit.

The top leading wound care expert in collaboration with researchers from different universities develops SEM scanner. These are highly specialized individuals in wounds, so it is just fitting that they developed this device. Moreover, multiple researchers and different kinds literature show how effective SEM scanner is; this gives the product a trustworthy credential.
Minimal technical skills to operate. This scanner is user-friendly and easy to use. It does not require a lot of skills for nurses or other caregivers to use it. Furthermore, SEM scanner works like a bladder scanner, so nurses will not have a hard time learning how to operate the device.
Non-invasive. This scanner works without the invasive property of other devices. It works just like an ultrasound on the superficial layer of the skin. Likewise, the non-invasive property of this device is favorable to our patients that have a higher incidence of refusing care.
Early detection. The SEM scanner can detect early signs of pressure ulcers on patient’s skin. By using this device on admission with in conjunction with “It takes two”, gives a high probability of capturing pressures ulcers and executing suitable pressure management care. Also, SEM scanner can be used to in any type of skin
