More Details

Materials
Visco Memory Foam Top Layers
* Top layer of soft, Visco memory foam, with an extra layer covering the pelvic loading area. This combination creates the ultimate sitting surface that distributes weight for pressure reduction and maximum comfort.

Contoured Foam Base with Lateral Pelvic Support
The foam base is moderately contoured to encourage proper positioning of the pelvis and thighs. Added 1 inch lateral pelvic wedges offer a high level of lateral stability and alignment of the pelvis for more involved positioning needs.

JAY Flow Fluid Insert
This insert lies beneath the Visco foam and conforms to each individual's unique contours for even pressure distribution beneath the pelvis and a reduced risk of skin breakdown.

Cover
Dual-Cover System
* The inner cover is water-resistant and easy to wipe off and clean, while its Aqua-guard zipper and anti-wicking thread protect the foam base from fluids.
* The machine-washable, stretch outer cover reduces surface tension and utilises naturally anti-microbial, silver-impregnated X-static fiber. A layer of 3DX spacer fabric promotes airflow and dissipates heat and moisture for additional skin protection.

Application
State the risk level for developing pressure ulcers for which the cushion is appropriate: low / low to medium / medium / medium to high / high risk of developing pressure ulcers

Considerations

* All cushions must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct choice and depth of foam, correct inflation level) , a different product may need to be considered.
* The gel cells or fluid on the top layer of the cushion can be punctured
Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front.
* It is advisable that a health professional be consulted when considering a suitable pressure care product.
