FAQs
What is a pressure cushion?
Pressure cushion are specially designed cushions that prevent you from getting pressure sores when you are seated for an extended period (also commonly known as bed sores, pressure ulcers and pressure injuries). These products work by redistributing weight to other fleshy parts of the body, for example, under the thighs. They will also protect the bony areas on your body.
Why do I need a pressure cushion?
One of the best ways to reduce the risk of pressure sores is to use a pressure relief cushion. Anyone who is at risk of pressure wounds or skin breakdown, or who spends long periods of time in a chair or wheelchair, would require and benefit from a pressure cushion. If you have low or no mobility, cannot reposition yourself comfortably, or have thin or fragile skin, you will also benefit from a pressure cushion.
What are the benefits of pressure cushions?
One of the main benefits of using a pressure cushion is to alleviate pressure related pain and make sitting more comfortable. They also allow for improved blood flow and postural stability. They are a simple and affordable way to protect you from pressure related pain. Our cushions simply need to be placed onto your chair or wheelchair to use.
