So, what is MASD, and why all the fuss? Here, Independent Tissue Viability Nurse Specialist, Valerie Dowley, explores MASD in her MASD Clinical Trilogy:

Did you know that today is ...?

Every year, our planet gives us billions of tons of natural resources which in the not too distant future, will run out.

We all have a responsibility to think NOW about what we throw away. The last decade has been the hottest on record. Conversely, February 2026 was the ninth warmest on record for the UK but was significantly wet, especially in England, which recorded 70% above its February Long Term Average rainfall.

We are now facing a climate emergency of unparalleled proportions. Approximately 7.5 million mattresses are sent to landfill or incinerated in the UK every year, generating up to 300,000 tonnes of bulky waste. These mattresses could fill Wembley Stadium five times over annually, and that’s not something OSKA is willing to ignore.

OSKA is proud to be a carbon neutral business and our mattress recycling service is just one of the steps we have taken to help protect our planet. Our mattress recycling service diverts, recycles and repurposes mattress materials not only to create a sustainable and circular economy for mattresses and their component parts, but also to help our clients offset their own carbon footprint.

The OSKA Innovation Centre has officially opened.

We welcomed our local MP for Havant, Alan Mak, to our Head Office to mark the opening of the OSKA Innovation Centre.

During the visit, we discussed the importance of supporting the health & social care sector across the country, and the role that innovation and practical solutions can play in helping to reduce costs while improving quality of life for those receiving care.

The new Innovation Centre reflects OSKA’s continued investment in innovation, product development, and improving clinical outcomes for patients and care providers across the UK.

Did you know it's estimated that in the UK, 1.3 million people aged over 65 suffer from malnutrition?

When a person is malnourished, it adversely affects the physiological response to infection through the loss of immune function and the ability for the body to heal wounds.

Studies suggest protein deficiency is linked to an increased risk of pressure ulcers and slows wound healing. This highlights the need for all healthcare professionals to encourage patients to prioritise good nutrition as an integral part of their care plan, in order to reduce the risk developing pressure ulcers and optimising wound healing.

In our latest clinical blog, Clinical Nurse Advisor, Nicola Hopkins explores 'You are what you eat: the importance of nutrition in wound healing' and discusses guidance on protein intake, ways to overcome the challenges of ensuring patients are well-nourished, as well as using 'MUST', an assessment tool to identify those at risk of malnourishment.

On this World Sleep Day, the importance of sleep cannot be underestimated when it comes to health and wellness. It is as essential to our bodies as eating, drinking and breathing, and is vital for maintaining good mental and physical health, helping to repair and restore.

When it comes to pressure ulcer prevention, treatment and management, the support surface plays a pivotal role. That's why COMFORT is as important as clinical outcomes during OSKA's pressure care mattress design, development and manufacture.

“We have found the Series2 to be excellent, great for pressure care & comfort. One lady in particular is sleeping so much better which has improved her overall mental health, plus she is much more settled & happy in general.”

Pressure ulcers are common – and largely preventable – in community care.

Standard mattresses often fall short for patients with complex or end-of-life needs.

That’s where the OSKA Series5 comes in:
- Designed for ultimate comfort
- Built-in lateral tilt therapy
- Replicates natural body movement to reduce manual handling
- No minimum user weight – ideal for those under 40kg

Whether you're a Community Equipment Service looking to reduce pressure ulcer risk, or a nursing team supporting patients with complex care needs, the Series5 could be your gamechanger.

To book your FREE mattress trial send us patient initials and we'll take care of the rest.
