dc.description.abstractSe diseñó un cojín terapéutico con geometría tipo panal para prevenir úlceras por presión en la zona sacra. Mediante análisis de elementos finitos en SolidWorks, se evaluó la distribución de presión usando cuatro combinaciones de biomateriales compuestos. El modelo incluyó capas de piel y una carga estática equivalente al 50% del peso corporal. La mejor combinación fue PC-ABS en las superficies y Agilus30 en el andamiaje, que registró la menor presión máxima (53.3 mmHg) y protegió eficazmente la zona sacra (0.71 mmHg). Esto se debe a la deformación elástica del Agilus30, que redistribuye mejor las cargas. El estudio demuestra que la selección de materiales y la geometría tipo panal mejoran significativamente la biomecánica del soporte. Aunque el modelo tiene limitaciones por comportamiento lineal y el software estudiantil empleado, los resultados ofrecen criterios claros para el diseño de cojines personalizados mediante impresión 3D, con potencial para reducir el riesgo de úlceras en pacientes postrados.spa
dc.description.abstractenglishA therapeutic cushion with honeycomb geometry was designed to prevent pressure ulcers in the sacral area. Using finite element analysis in SolidWorks, pressure distribution was evaluated using four combinations of composite biomaterials. The model included layers of skin and a static load equivalent to 50% of body weight. The best combination was PC-ABS on the surfaces and Agilus30 in the scaffolding, which recorded the lowest maximum pressure (53.3 mmHg) and effectively protected the sacral area (0.71 mmHg). This is due to the elastic deformation of Agilus30, which better redistributes loads. The study demonstrates that material selection and honeycomb geometry significantly improve the biomechanics of the support. Although the model has limitations due to linear behavior and the student software used, the results provide clear criteria for the design of customized cushions using 3D printing, with the potential to reduce the risk of ulcers in bedridden patients.spa
