Short Description
A viscoelastic memory foam pressure relieving cushion. The top molds to the anatomically shaped round-edged pocket below. The cushion delivers pressure relief to the bony prominences where users need it most. The high density bottom is contoured to encourage an upright posture and proper positioning of the legs. Suitable for those at high risk for pressure ulcers at the ischium or coccyx. Available in one size.

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 (e.g. 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
