A lightweight, precontoured, visco elastic foam cushion to aid in positioning with mild pressure redistribution.

Additional Info
More Details
Materials
* Visco elastic foam
* Option of curved or flat base, medial/lateral thigh support, sacral and seat rail notches
* Removable 1 inch lateral thigh supports to provide additional positioning.
Cover
* Incontinence cover as standard with option for microclimatic cover
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 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
* Foam must be regularly replaced as it loses its spring and becomes hard after long term use
