Description
The Immedia Glide Cushion allows easy sliding in one direction, whilst resisting sliding in the other direction. It is used to maintain the user in a correct seated position, reducing shear and friction that can cause decubitus. It also reduces the risk of shear and friction during manual handling, minimising the pull on the skin and avoiding sores forming on the pelvic bones.
This product is suitable for preventing sliding forward while sitting as well as facilitating independent or assisted positioning back in a chair. It is ideal for use when the patient needs repositioning repeatedly, and can be used independently or with a carer. Please note that, due to its velour construction, this cushion must be used on a textile surface.
