More Details

Structure
* A layer of super-soft, hypo allergenic DuPontpolyester fibre floats over the top of the water layer to provide comfort
* A thermal insulator fully encases the water layer to prevent body heat from being drawn from the head, neck and shoulders. This enhances the comfort of the pillow
* A water pouch secured to the base of the pillow provides the responsive head and neck support. Easy to follow instructions show how much water to add for soft, medium and firm support. Use ordinary tap water. No chemical additives are required

Customisation
* The pillow can be customised to provide soft medium or firm comfort by adding or removing water

Cover
* A standard pillow case will fit the pillow

Standards

Standards
Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate. For more information about standards also see

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
