This article translates recent bioengineering research into practical guidance for pressure injury prevention. Evidence supports a multilayer silicone-foam dressing designed to dissipate shear forces that contribute to deep tissue injury. Laboratory testing showed reduced tissue deformation and stress concentrations, even with moisture and repeated movement. The findings suggest that prophylactic dressings should be evaluated by their ability to manage shear and used alongside repositioning, skin assessment and moisture management.
