PRESSURE MANAGEMENT SEAT OPTIONS
LUXURY CUSHIONS FROM THE MOBILITY FURNITURE COMPANY
Pressure Management Seat Options
All cushions are covered in multi-way stretch, vapour permeable fabric which is wipeable, removable, washable at 95°C, incontinence proof and breathable.
Pressure Mapping
All seat designs undergo rigorous pressure mapping testing to ensure we achieve the highest standards possible. A mat of pressure sensors is applied to the seat. The matrix of sensors quantifies the surface pressure between a person and the support surface the mobility chair provides.
The results provide a map for analysis by clinicians who can then advise our design teams. The aim is to ensure that pressure is as evenly distributed as possible and that the maximum area of the thighs and buttocks is supported at as low an interface pressure as possible.
Pressure Map for individual: Gender: Female; Age: 35 Years; Weight: 10.5 Stones.
Note: Users with pressure relief needs or concerns are advised to seek the advice of a tissue viability clinician on the most suitable level of pressure relief for their medical requirements.
Poor pressure distribution
Good pressure distribution
Viscoform
For those who have good posture and mobility but are seated for longer than one hour at a time and require pressure relief and supported comfort. This cushion has a high density foam base which offers a supportive and firm seat base with a top layer of memory foam to allow submersion into the cushion giving stability and a large surface area to reduce pressure levels.
Pommel Viscoform
For those who have good posture and mobility but are seated for greater than one hour at a time and require pressure relief and supported comfort.
This cushion has a high density foam base which offers a supportive and firm seat base with a top layer of memory foam to allow submersion into the cushion giving stability and a large surface area to reduce pressure levels.
Liquiform
For those who have good posture and mobility but are seated for long periods of time and require pressure relief and supported comfort. Excellent for people with little fatty tissue. This cushion has a high density foam base which offers a supportive and firm seat base topped with a fluid liquid gel in a soft silicone cover to provide high levels of pressure relief. The liquid gel helps to dissipate heat and constantly adapts to movement.
Airform
For those who have good postural position but who are unable to alter their own position easily and require high level pressure care.
This cushion gives the benefit of an air cushion without the sensation of alternating changes in air pressure.
Celliform
For those sitting for long periods of time with specific comfort issues such as a high risk of pressure sores and shear forces.
Gelacell’s unique grid design eliminates pressure points by contouring in response to the transfer of weight and evenly distributing pressure. The molecular structure restricts absorbed heat and keeps the seat cooler and fresher.
Coolform
For those sitting for long periods with specific comfort issues such as a high risk of pressure sores.
Coolform cushions use the latest medical grade silicone gel technology allowing pressure to be evenly distributed. The gel conforms to the shape of the body and equalises to body temperature for comfort and pressure risk management. The gel cells allow air to flow easily and Coolform is totally odourless and hypoallergenic.
Dynaform
For those at very high risk of developing pressure sores or a history of sores where the highest priority is to prevent further pressure damage. For users only up to 20 stones (120kg). The Dynaform cushion is a dynamic alternating air cushion which constantly changes the air levels within its many air cells to recreate the effect of pressure relieving and prevent pressure build up.
Air cell features
6 dynamic cells 4” (10cm) wide & 3 cell cycle repeated every 9 minutes.
Please note the Dynaform cushion does need an electric supply at all times to operate.
