How does a hospital sand bed work? Exploring the science of air-fluidized therapy

Air-fluidized beds, often called "hospital sand beds," represent a gold standard in advanced wound care, particularly for preventing and treating severe pressure ulcers. This innovative medical technology works by creating a low-pressure, fluid-like environment that supports and envelops the patient's body, effectively offloading pressure from vulnerable areas. The principle behind **how does a hospital sand bed work?** involves a fascinating combination of physics and medical engineering.
