How Does the Air Pressure Relief System Treat Pressure Sores?
The Air Pressure Relief System helps to treat pressure sores by redistributing pressure evenly across the body. Suitable for wheelchairs and normal chairs the system uses a two inch inflatable insert that can help to take the pressure away from the affected area. By doing this, blood can be increased to the affected area which can help to increase the rate of recovery.

The Pressure Relief System can prevent pressure sores as by redistributing pressure it can prevent blood from being blocked across the body. By helping to keep circulation moving, the chances of pressure sores developing are reduced while the skin itself is far healthier. This is ideal for patients with less mobility, and in homes, care homes and hospitals.
