Deep Castellated Contoured Foam
The contoured and castellated foam of this cushion offers an exceptional level of pressure distribution, improving both comfort and safety for the user. The castellations allow each section of the cushion to move independently, significantly reducing the shear and friction that can lead to pressure sores. As this cushion is made with a deep moulded foam design, it is ideal for clinically obese users, or those that would like a higher sitting position.
Gel for Enhanced Relief
The ischial tuberosities provide a unique challenge for carers, as they are particularly difficult to protect from pressure sores. To solve this problem, the cushion includes a fluid sac at the rear, targeting the ischial tuberosities to provide superior levels of protection and relief.
Ingress-Resistant Covers
The covers supplied with this cushion are ingress-resistant to improve both hygiene and longevity. Treated with a fluorocarbon-based fluid repellent finish to prevent wetting and reduce risk of contamination, these covers prevent fluid ingress and aid in the prevention of pressure ulcers.
