Pressure Relief Products

Pressure relief products are essential aids for individuals who require additional support and comfort to prevent or alleviate pressure-related discomfort and injuries. These products are designed to distribute body weight evenly, reduce pressure on vulnerable areas, and promote healthy circulation.

Types Of Pressure Relief Products

🔹Pressure Relief Cushions

Pressure relief cushions are specifically designed to provide support and reduce pressure on specific body areas. They come in various forms, including foam, gel, air, and combination cushions. These pressure cushions are commonly used on chairs, wheelchairs, and other seating surfaces to enhance comfort and reduce the risk of pressure sores.

 

Considerations when buying a pressure cushion:

  • Material and Design: Choose a cushion made from high-quality materials that offer effective pressure redistribution and long-lasting durability.
  • Pressure Relief Properties: Look for pressure cushions with features such as foam or gel layers that provide superior pressure relief.

🔹Pressure Relief Mattresses

Pressure relief mattresses are designed to provide optimal support and pressure redistribution for individuals who spend extended periods in bed.

They help alleviate pressure on vulnerable areas, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of developing pressure ulcers.

 

Considerations when buying a pressure relief mattress:

  • Type of Mattress: Assess the individual's specific needs, such as mobility level and existing pressure sores, to determine the most suitable mattress type.
  • Pressure Redistribution Mechanism: Understand the pressure redistribution mechanism of the mattress, such as foam layers, air cells, or alternating pressure, to ensure it aligns with the individual's needs.
  • Maintenance and Cleaning: Consider the ease of maintenance and cleaning, as well as the durability of the mattress.

Considerations when buying a pressure relief overlay:

  • Material and Design: Look for overlays made from high-quality materials that provide effective pressure redistribution and support.
  • Thickness and Density: Consider the thickness and density of the overlay to ensure optimal pressure relief and support for the user.
  • Compatibility: Ensure the overlay is compatible with the existing mattress or seating surface and can be securely attached or positioned.

They can be used for support during sleep, sitting, or rehabilitation exercises. These pillows and wedges come in various shapes and sizes to provide customized support and pressure redistribution.

FAQs about Our Pressure Relief Cushions and Support Products

 

What is the difference between pressure relief cushions and pressure cushions for chairs?

In general, all pressure cushions aim to relieve pressure, but pressure cushions for chairs and pressure cushion for chair models are specifically shaped to fit standard seating, offering better stability and targeted support.

Are pressure relieving cushions suitable for wheelchair users?

Yes. Pressure cushions for wheelchairs are specifically designed to provide continuous support during extended sitting, improving posture and reducing the risk of sores.

What is the best option for someone already experiencing discomfort or redness?

A pressure ulcer cushion or pressure sore cushions for chairs provide enhanced redistribution and are often recommended for early signs of discomfort, especially if the user sits for long hours.

What is the difference between a pressure reducing cushion and a pressure relieving cushion?

A pressure reducing cushion focuses on lowering the overall force on seated areas, while pressure relieving cushions aim to redistribute weight away from high-risk zones. Both are effective, depending on your needs.

Which pressure relief cushion is best for preventing early-stage pressure sores?

For users who already show redness or discomfort, a pressure ulcer cushion or pressure sore cushions for chairs provide targeted off-loading of high-risk areas. These cushions redistribute weight more effectively than standard pressure cushions, reducing friction and shear.

What type of pressure relief cushion works best after surgery?

Recovery patients often do well with a pressure relieving cushion that evenly distributes weight and minimises tension around healing tissues. A gel-based or air-cell design is often preferred for its adaptability and comfort, depending on the surgeon’s advice.

A pressure ulcer cushion or pressure sore cushions for chairs provide enhanced redistribution and are often recommended for early signs of discomfort, especially if the user sits for long hours.

What is the difference between a pressure reducing cushion and a pressure relieving cushion?
