Description
Advanced Pressure Relief for High-Risk Users
The Invacare Flo-tech Plus has been specifically developed for users who require a high level of pressure management. The cushion incorporates a deep contoured foam base with a fluid gel sac positioned beneath the ischial tuberosities, helping to redistribute pressure away from vulnerable areas while improving comfort during extended periods of sitting.
This combination of foam and gel technology makes the Flo-tech Plus an ideal choice for wheelchair users and individuals with limited mobility who spend long periods seated.
Integrated Gel Technology
The cushion features an integrated gel sac located within the seat well.
- Targeted pressure relief beneath the ischial tuberosities
- Improved immersion and weight distribution
- Reduced peak pressure points
- Enhanced comfort during prolonged sitting
- Support for pressure ulcer prevention programmes
The gel insert works alongside the contoured foam to provide consistent pressure redistribution while maintaining stability.
