How Does the Pressure Relief Cushion Work?
For wheelchair users and those with limited mobility who need to sit for extended periods are at risk of developing pressure injuries, ulcers, or similar conditions. This risk can be prevented using a pressure relief cushion.
The modular foam used for this pressure distribution aid is chequered into sections, helping to increase the surface contact area of the cushion and reducing shear and friction for effective pressure redistribution.
Who Can Use This Modular Foam Cushion?
This cushion is designed to fit in most wheelchairs, and is ideal for those who spend a lot of time using this type of mobility aid. It is particularly useful for preventing injuries from pressure build-up due to being seated for long periods, as well as improving user comfort.
Why Use a Wheelchair Cushion?
Pressure relief cushions reduce the risk of developing pressure-related injuries and ulcers, as well as enhancing patient comfort when they must remain seated for extended periods.
Issues and conditions that can be alleviated or prevented by use of this cushion include general discomfort, pressure sores, ulcers, and postural misalignment. They are also great for helping to keep users stable to ensure proper and consistent positioning of the body.
What's the Difference Between the Two Cushion Variations?
There are two variations available for this cushion. In both variations the cushion is the same, but comes with a different type of cushion cover.
- The wipe-clean, multi-stretch, vapour-permeable cushion cover offers effective product ventilation for enhanced sanitation and airflow. These cushion covers are machine washable up to 95°C for 15 minutes.
- The terry towelling cover is designed with a cotton compound usually used for towels and bathrobes due to its absorbency. It provides a soft layer for the pressure cushion, and is machine washable at 40°C for up to 15 minutes.
