Too often, we follow other designs instead of stepping back and looking for a better way. Pressure ulcer care is a daily burden for all involved, existing technologies use the application of elevation to promote the relief of pressure. But what if we’ve been approaching the problem from the wrong angle entirely?
Tidewave is different. Its patented lateral movement technology doesn’t elevate the person; instead, it gently and continuously moves them in synchrony with the support surface. This constant redistribution of pressure prevents any single area from sustaining long-term loading – the main cause of skin breakdown.
We applaud the goal of prevention, this is our first proven commitment, we also support clinicians in the commitment to healing including the healing of Grade IV ulcers. With quicker positive results, this is leading a better quality of life, reducing carer workload, and significant reductions in long-term costs.
Ambre-Stone is proud to be introducing Tidewave into the UK, not just as a supplier but as a strategic partner. We’re actively supporting clinical trials, engagement with NHS England, and collaboration with university medical schools. The goal: build robust evidence base while making breakthrough pressure care an available solution, not only in hospitals but, care homes and private homes as well.
TIDEWAVE, EMPOWERING PATIENTS, REDUCING BURDEN
What sets Tidewave apart isn’t just its technology – it’s the impact it has on daily
life. Because the mattress does the work of repositioning continuously and imperceptibly, patients can remain comfortably asleep. Carers wellbeing is protected with less manual repositioning, user have night-time disruption removed, allowing quality night long sleep.
Importantly, Tidewave integrates into existing care routines. It requires no complex training and doesn’t displace other interventions like dressing regimens or mobility plans. That makes it suitable not only for hospitals, but for community and hospice settings, where continuity of care is essential.
We’re now inviting care providers and clinicians to help shape the next chapter of pressure ulcer care. If you’re supporting individuals at risk of, or already living with, pressure ulcers – especially those with long-standing wounds – this is your opportunity to be at the forefront of meaningful change.
Ambre-Stone stands for insightful consultancy, clinically credible solutions, and compassion- led innovation. We exist to solve the complex problems that too often fall through the cracks.
Let’s work together to turn pressure care around- literally.
