Prelivia is the first innovation in 70 years aimed at protecting patients from pressure injuries, also known as pressure ulcers and bedsores. It uses proprietary neurostimulation that is scientifically proven to continuously stimulate blood circulation and minimize tissue damage.
Contact us if you’re interested in participating in our free 90-day quality improvement demo trials of Prelivia at your hospital or care facility.
Important Note: Currently, Prelivia is available for healthcare facilities or clinics across USA and Canada.

Prelivia is a painless and economical device that fits seamlessly into existing patient treatment workflows. It takes a nurse or a nurse practitioner only minutes to apply Prelivia pads over at-risk areas. Once in place, Prelivia works continuously 24/7 to increase local blood circulation and keep tissue healthy. Prelivia received 510k clearance in August 2021.
Rehabtronics is inviting applications for free 90-day Quality Improvement demo trials of Prelivia at qualified healthcare facilities in the United States. Contact us today to learn more.
Prelivia is also part of the Protect2 multicentered randomized controlled study to further validate its effectiveness in decreasing progression and facilitating healing of pressure injuries. The Cleveland Clinic Foundation is currently recruiting participants.
To safeguard a patient from pressure injuries (bed sores), it takes a nurse or a nurse practitioner only minutes to apply and activate Prelivia. Simply place Prelivia pads onto the patient’s at-risk areas to stimulate blood circulation and perfusion. Our proprietary electrodes, deliver intermittent electrical stimulation to the tissue once activated with a wireless stimulator device. Tissue stimulation is painless for the patient.
Unlike other systems that deliver electrical impulses, Prelivia delivers stimulation continuously without fatiguing muscles. Since there are no time restrictions, Prelivia can be used 24/7 to keep tissue healthy in bedridden and chair-bound patients.
Identify the significant cost savings your facility could achieve by reducing the occurrence of expensive pressure ulcers or hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPI).
First introduced by Florence Nightingale in 1850, physically repositioning people who can’t move themselves is one of the most prevalent measures currently used to prevent pressure injuries (bed sores). This practice takes significant time and is considered a leading cause of work-related injuries. Some health care facilities invest in expensive mattresses made of foam, air or gel that are designed to redistribute pressure in bony areas. However, they fail to bring blood, oxygen and nutrients to tissue. Prelivia is the first technology clinically proven to prevent pressure injuries (bed sores) from forming.
