Resumo: [Excerpt] Pressure Ulcers develop when there is excessive pressure on a bony prominence for a long period of time, which may compress the tissue and blood vessels between the bone and the support surface (Theaker, 2003). Temperature plays an important role in their development. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate materials used for their prevention in terms of their thermal properties. Moreover, these properties are pivotal in the comfort perceived by the end-user. [...]
