What Is Pressure Relief?
Pressure relief is the use of a soft and cushioned surface that frequently comes into contact with vulnerable parts of the body. Wheelchair users experience concentrated force on bony parts of their lower body from being seated for extended periods of time. Using an 'interface' layer made of deep wool pile, you can reduce the impact placed on certain areas of the body and reduce the risk of pressure sores.
Why Is Pressure Relief Important?
Pressure relief is vital if you are susceptible or assessed as being likely to develop pressure sores or ulcers in the future. If you don't relieve pressure on already present sores and ulcers, or you're not managing the amount of strain and impact on vulnerable areas, tearing, puncturing and even abscesses can develop.
What Does a Pressure Relief Fleece Do?
The Wheelchair Fleece attaches to the back of a wheelchair to cushion the legs and back and relieve the amount of downward force placed on vulnerable areas. With individuals who are stationary for long periods, softening contact areas is a proven way to lower the likelihood of pressure sores and ulcers developing.
Pressure Sore and Ulcer Relief
A soft fabric fleece absorbs a large portion of the downward, abrasive pressure generated when the body comes into contact with a bare cushion. The use of a fleece and cover combination is vital for individuals that cannot change position frequently.
How Does this Pressure Relief Cushion Cover Attach?
The Wheelchair Pressure Relief Fleece attaches via strong loops that hook around the wheelchair handles. This guarantees a non-slip fit that stays secure and in place despite movement, allowing for a comfortable and cushioning layer that does not require constant readjustment.
Pure Wool Pile for Complete Comfort
Remaining comfortable and cosy whilst sitting in a wheelchair for extended periods of time is essential and can often be hard to achieve. With the Wool-Fleece Foam Cushion, you can obtain perfect temperature regulation, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. Wool also has high shock absorbing qualities due to its crimped fibres and works to reduce moisture, helping to keep you dry and comfortable all day long.
Machine Washable for Effortless Maintenance
Pressure relief layers that come in close contact with the body for extended periods of time require an easy and hassle-free solution to cleaning. The Wool Seat and Backrest Cover is machine washable up to 40°C for 15 minutes and should be followed by a cold rinse. It can also be tumble dried up to 40°C for no longer than 10 minutes.
