Apex Sedens 410 Alternating Air Pressure Relief Cushion
APEX SEDENS 410 ALTERNATING AIR PRESSURE RELIEF CUSHION
This alternating cushion works with Apex dynamic mattress pumps to provide a comfortable and safe seating experience. The non-slip base prevents you from sliding out of position, while the non-PVC fabric provides safer care. The removable top and base covers are easy to clean, and the 6 air-cell-like one-piece pads with foam encased in them reduce the risk of bottoming out. Plus, the fluid-resistant, low shear and vapour permeable top cover protects your skin from friction and moisture.
This cushion is designed for patients who require 24-hour pressure care. With this cushion, patients will be able to be transferred from bed to chair with peace of mind that powerful pressure relief will still be provided.
This cushion primarily provides pressure relief through six air cells with foam encased, designed to function like a one-piece hybrid pad. These cells will slowly inflate and deflate with the use of the included pump, ensuring no area of the buttocks is subject to pressure for more than a few minutes. Through this alternating air process, the risk of pressure sore development is greatly reduced.
This cushion is made with a hybrid design, meaning that it includes both a supportive foam component and alternating air cells. This design is ideal for 24-hour care, as it ensures that ‘bottoming out’ is avoided while the patient is sitting for long periods.
‘Bottoming Out’ is the term used to describe when a cushion or mattress begins to fold under the weight of the user, causing a small portion of the patient’s body to come into contact with the surface below. This can be a dangerous situation for patients at high-pressure sore risk, which is why the hybrid design of this cushion is beneficial.
