Considerations

All pressure reduction products 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 or mattress. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct inflation levels), a different product may need to be considered.

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

Indications for Use
Repose products provide effective pressure redistribution for all people at risk of developing pressure ulcers, including those assessed as very high risk. Repose is also appropriate for users with pressure related tissue damage - clinical supervision is advised where the damage is severe.

Repose is not suitable for the following:
* Persons weighing in excess of 222kg*
* Persons with unstable spinal fractures
* Where body shape is such that the person cannot be fully supported by the
* Repose mattress overlay or cushion
* Repose is suitable for use with bed and trolley side rails subject to the bed or trolley manufacturer's instructions and appropriate risk assessment
