Eco Foam Pressure Relief Cushion

Eco Foam Pressure Relief Cushion

Pressure sores can be very painful for patients who are mainly sedentary, and pressure cushions are a great preventative measure to provide relief for users. The Eco Foam Pressure Relief Cushion is the ideal general purpose cushion designed for basic pressure relief for wheelchair and seated users. The foam cushion has a contoured surface that aids in distributing weight and is protected by a two-way, polyurethane coated nylon stretch cover that can be wiped clean for infection control.

What Causes Pressure Sores?
Pressure sores, often referred to as pressure ulcers or bedsores, are an injury to the skin and underlying tissue caused by excess pressure. They can range from mild reddening of the skin to severe tissue damage, and in some cases can be extremely painful.

Those with health conditions that make it difficult to move, or are confined to lying in bed or sitting in a wheelchair for prolonged periods of time, are particularly vulnerable to developing pressure sores.

Perfect for Wheelchair Users
The Eco Foam Cushion is ideal for those at low risk of contracting bedsores. It is a great tool for wheelchair users or those who have to remain seated for long periods of time, as it has been created to support and evenly distribute a user's weight, decreasing the chance of a pressure ulcer evolving.
