Pressure injuries (PIs), a pervasive, often underestimated healthcare concern, affect patients at all ages in a variety of care settings [Gefen et al., 2022a,b]. Medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) are a PI category associated with sustained forces acting on skin and underlying tissues due to prolonged use of skin-contacting medical devices, e.g., catheters, tubes, oxygen masks, cervical collars, etc. [Bader et al., 2019, Gefen, 2021, Gefen et al., 2022, Gefen et al., 2022]. These wounds develop rapidly, may cause serious and long-term complications and are often considered hospital-acquired injuries with healthcare quality, liability and legal consequences [Gefen et al., 2022b]. Unlike general PIs, MDRPIs are supposedly mostly preventable, being caused by man-made devices which are unfortunately not always engineered to be skin-friendly, owing to lack of implementation of contemporary etiological PI research in design improvements of high-risk devices [Bader et al., 2019, Gefen et al., 2022, Lustig et al., 2021, Solmos et al., 2023]. While designs of skin-contacting devices will take considerable time to evolve, healthcare professionals must already take practical measures for PI prevention (PIP), including, in the context of MDRPI prevention (MDPRI-P), proper device selection, positioning and regular skin assessments to ensure patient safety [Gefen, 2022, Gefen, 2022, Solmos et al., 2023]. A critical aspect of these measures is informed selection of adequate dressing types to pad and cushion skin under medical devices [Gefen, 2022, Gefen, 2022, Solmos et al., 2023].
