Woollen Wheelchair Pressure Relief Fleece and Backrest Cover

For wheelchair bound patients, sitting in the same seat for extended periods can cause pressure sores and ulcers. The Woollen Wheelchair Pressure Relief Fleece and Backrest Cover alleviates the strain on vulnerable areas to reduce the risk of developing tears, punctures or abscesses. Made from pure wool pile, the wheelchair fleece is comfy and warm for the patient to sit on.

What's Included?

  • 1 x Pressure Relief Cushion Cover

Why Is Pressure Relief Important?

Pressure relief is vital if a patient is susceptible or assessed as being likely to develop pressure sores or ulcers in the future. If pressure is not relived on already present sores and ulcers, or the amount of strain and impact on vulnerable areas is not managed, 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 patients 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 at the wheelchair handles. This allows whoever is pushing the wheelchair to ensure the fleece remains in place.

What Conditions Can a Pressure Relief Fleece Assist With?

A fleeced wheelchair cover has a number of benefits for a range of different symptoms and conditions. Please view the list below for a few examples:

  • Circulation and Blood Flow Issues
  • Diabetes
  • Dermatological Conditions
  • Lower Body Injury
  • Pressure Sores and Ulcers
  • Skin Irritation
  • Varicose Veins
  • Warmth Retention

What If I Need More Pressure Relief?

Although great at alleviating pressure, the fleece may not be as effective as an actual pressure cushion. To find out more about pressure relief cushions, check out our handy guide on Choosing the Right Pressure Relief Cushion.

What Colour Is the Pressure Relief Fleece?

The Pressure Relief Fleece is honey beige in colour, resembling the traditional cream colour of a wool pile fleece.
