Pressure Relief Cushions

For those who have recently suffered injury or dislocation to the hips, ensuring they are in a properly abducted position is crucial to recovery. Our Abduction Wedges are designed to prevent any crossing movement of the hips to keep them in a healthy position, allowing recovery to take place.

While foam cushions can be comfortable, patients without the ability to shift themselves while seated may require an active cushion for effective pressure relief. Our Active Cushions circulate air throughout the user's seating surface, ensuring high pressure zones on the skin are reduced and so that pressure sores are prevented.

Nothing is lighter than air, so naturally it provides a great material to prevent high levels of pressure forming between the patient and their seat. Our Air Cushions help to provide excellent weight distribution, making the user as comfortable in their chair or wheelchair as possible.

Larger patients may require more support than the average chair or wheelchair user, so an especially robust cushion may be necessary. Our Bariatric Cushions feature higher capacities than the standard variety, ensuring any patient can get the comfort and support they need.

Care homes and hospitals will often have to deal with accidents and spills, so pressure relief cushions need to be protected so that they continue to work at a high capacity. Our Cushion Covers & Accessories are waterproof and comfortable, providing the best of both worlds for patients and carers alike.

Certain areas of the body are more prone to pressure sore development than others, and the elbows are a prime example. Our Elbow Cushions allow patients to sit comfortably without worrying about their arms, providing excellent comfort and protection.

Foam and alternating air cushions aren't the only way to provide adequate pressure relief, as gel is often just as effective or more so. Our Gel Cushions provide excellent weight distribution, as their inner material can move freely to ensure all areas in contact with the cushion are evenly supported.

When a patent is lying down, the heels are often at a particularly high risk of pressure sores due to the weight of the patient's legs bearing down on them. Our Heel Cushions help to provide comfort and proper positioning for the user, helping to ensure the heels are protected and full-body pressure relief is maintained.

Foam is an excellent material when it comes to pressure relief, as it can mould around the contours of a user's body to provide both support and comfort. Our Foam Cushions are soft and supportive, helping to distribute a patient's weight across the surface of a cushion as evenly as possible.

When it comes to caring for children, anything that can be done to make their recovery time as comfortable, safe and pleasant as possible is a must. Our Paediatric Cushions are designed to be extremely supportive and comfortable, helping to ensure their time is no more daunting than it needs to be.

Properly positioning a patient can be the difference between a comfortable care experience and pressure sore development, so it's importance cannot be overstated. Our Positioning Cushions help improve patients' comfort, posture and pressure relief, making mattresses, cushions and other equipment more effective.

While rise recliners may make up some of the most comfortable chairs, they can make it especially difficult to achieve proper pressure relief. Our Recliner Cushions are designed to accommodate the movements of reclining chairs, making them the ideal solution for prevention of pressure sores in recliner chairs.

Active and dynamic cushion systems can provide high levels of pressure relief to vulnerable patients, but a properly designed static cushion can be effective as well. Our Static Cushions are made with high quality materials like foam, gel and air cells, providing patients with comfort and support in chairs and wheelchairs.

For patients without much lower limb mobility, a wheelchair can provide an important feeling of independence and freedom that can't be overstated. Our Wheelchair Cushions help to make patient's seating as comfortable and safe as possible, helping to improve time in wheelchairs and prevent pressure sore development.

When selecting the right wheelchair cushion for each user, pressure relief, posture and comfort must all be considered. Matrx Flo-Tech Wheelchair Cushions lead the industry with unique considerations for all of these factors, providing wheelchair users with maximum comfort and breathability for everyday use.
