Sacral Sores / Pressure Sores

Well i have been previously back from attachment in one of the hospitals in Singapore. I was in a surgical ward. I observe that some patients develop sacral sores despite interventions such as 2hourly turning is done. I believe that it is a major problem around the world with bed bound patients or even workers who sits alot in the office.So i have an idea to relief or possibly prevent the complication of the sacral sores. Water/sponge bag for sacral sores. It is available in paediatrics wards to relief fever. but why not use it to prevent sores? as it has a cooling effect (if it is filled with water) which helps to prevent skin breakdowns. and it has the same impact as heel booties.It might be uncomfortable if it is design for a whole bed which i think is already present in the market .
Comment/email me if u have any mentions on this matter.  @ : whygenius@hotmail.sg
