More Details

Materials
* An inflatable cushion composed of orange Laxprene air filled cells

Cover
* Waterproof, impermeable to fluids
* removable with slip resistant base

Application
* Supplier states this cushion is suitable for persons at medium to high risk of developing pressure areas

* Check supplier website for sizing information for the various models

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.

* It is advisable that a health professional be consulted when considering a suitable pressure care product.
