The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to
understand their causes and your role in a skin management
program. Your therapist and physician should be consulted
if you have questions regarding individual limitations and
needs. All cushions should be selected carefully. Working
with your therapist and physician is the best way to ensure
that a cushion choice matches your individual needs. As
the needs of the individual become more complex, cushion
evaluation becomes more important.
The cushion A uses a combination of a moulded foam base
B and dual layer clinical fluid sac C to provide the highest
level of skin protection for users with very high risk of skin
breakdown.
Clinical Fluid Sac
The clinical fluid sac utilises silicone in a unique dual-layer
design placed in the ishcial/sacral areas to help prevent
bottoming out.
Inner Liner and Outer Cover
The inner liner D is moisture resistant to protect the
foam. The standard outer cover E is water resistant and
breathable. Regular cleaning and inspection of the covers is
recommended, see 7 Maintenance, page 5 .

3.2 Intended Use

This cushion is intended to be used in an armchair or
wheelchair as part of an overall pressure injury prevention
program of care.
