Through addressing device design, materials and patient monitoring, the Skin Health Group is pioneering new methods that could change the lives of people living with the long-lasting effects of pressure ulcers and scarring.

It’s an issue that a multidisciplinary team from Health Sciences and Engineering is tackling, bringing benefits to both patients and purses. There’s a real juxtaposition between hospital devices supporting life but also causing chronic skin damage and scarring. Billions of pounds are ploughed into treating problems created by life-supporting and essential devices every year.
