Additional Info
More Details
* Waterproof inner cover, and stretch outer cover
Materials
* Lightweight foam
* Notch at the rear of the cushion reduces pressure over the coccyx bone.
* Removable 1 inch lateral thigh supports to provide additional positioning.
Cover
* Stretch outer cover with zipper enclosure for secure placement
* Water-resistant inner cover with aquaguard zipper and antiwicking seam to protect foam base from moisture build up
* Features lightweight, reduced profile skin protection for active users
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, a different product may need to be considered
* The gel cells or fluid on the top layer of the cushion can be punctured
* 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
