Use of Pressure Cushions

The dimpled or strengthened pads give a patient additional support and retain pressure when they need it the most. It could be fitted to your chair to replace or improve the cushions currently used. The square pressure cushion is ideal to be used after surgery.
Requirement of Pressure Cushions
It is important to know that those who are inflicted with immobility are at risk of getting pressure ulcers by spending long periods in the same position. These ulcers are very painful and usually occur through continuous pressure on soft tissue generally found over a part of a bone area such as shoulder, heel or hip. When the skin rubs frequently against clothes or bed linen or even perspiration could worsen the problem. Pressure ulcers could also lead to serious health issues as due to the blood flow to the affected area being reduced it could cause dangerous infections which may be slow to heal and not easy to cure.
