How Does This Modular Foam Cushion Work?
Wheelchair users and those who have to sit for extended periods can minimise the risk of developing pressure injuries, ulcers, and similar conditions with a pressure relief cushion.
The modular foam used for this pressure relief aid is chequered into sections, helping to promote an even distribution of user weight. This works by increasing the surface contact area of the cushion, and reducing shear and friction for better pressure distribution.
Who Is the Pressure Relief Cushion Useful For?
As this cushion is designed to fit in most wheelchairs, it 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 Should Patients Use a Wheelchair Cushion?
Using a pressure-relief wheelchair cushion can minimise the risk of developing pressure-related injuries, and maximise patient comfort while they are seated for long periods. Issues and conditions that can be alleviated or prevented by using 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 Variations of This Cushion Are Available?
There are two variations available for this cushion. In both variations the cushion itself remains the same, but each variant comes with a different style of cushion cover.
- The wipe-clean, multi-stretch, vapour-permeable cover offers effective product ventilation for enhanced sanitation and airflow. These cushion covers are machine washable up to 95°C for 15 minutes to enable optimal hygiene maintenance.
- 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.
Alternative Pressure Reducing Cushions
The Memory Foam Combi Cushion is an effective pressure-distribution aid that uses two types of foam to provide both relief and support. This cushion offers enhanced comfort, and is ideal for those who are at high-risk of developing pressure injuries.
With the Anti-Pressure Foam Cushion with Wool Cover, you'll get an excellent quality modular-foam pressure relief cushion with a soft wool cover. The cover optimises user comfort, and also provides another light layer of pressure relief.
