More Details

Reversible outer cover
* Reversible outer cover may be used smooth or fabric side out
* Dartex fabric is moisture resistant and breathable
* Hook and loop fastener strips

Inner cover
* Moisture resistant
* Easily wiped clean

Cushion
* Resilient foam prevents "bottoming out"
* Anatomically molded shape to assist with positioning
* Rear radius for sacral support
* Waterfall front edge
* Antibacterial and odor protection

Ischial relief
* Waffled recess allows immersion of bony prominences
* Helps maintain pelvic position and reduces sliding

Considerations

* All cushions must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct choice and depth of foam, correct inflation level) , a different product may need to be considered.
* Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front.
* It is advisable that a health professional be consulted when considering a suitable pressure care product.
* Foam must be regularly replaced as it losses its spring and becomes hard after long term use

Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
