Pressure-relieving gel cushions with cushioning properties meet the pressure relief and comfort requirements, which prevent pressure sores and ulcers by uniformly spreading weight, lessening shear forces, and providing stability to patients who are bedridden or spend much time sitting.
Unlike foam or air cushions, gel cushions provide a specialized form of support and pressure relief. The gel material molds itself to the patient's body, providing a more tailored type of support while reducing pressure to a greater extent.
Generally, gel cushions are low maintenance and can be wiped down using a mild disinfectant or even soap and water. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines about cleaning a cushion and regularly inspect a cushion for any signs of wear or damage.
Yes, gel seat cushions are specifically designed and developed for sensitive skin patients and those at high risk of developing pressure ulcers. Such devices, being able to distribute the pressure and reduce friction, are perfect for preventing breakdowns in skin condition and offering comfort to patients.
It depends on how often the cushion is used and the patient's weight. For this reason, a good quality gel cushion usually serves between 1-2 years if properly looked after. There needs to be a regular check for signs of wear or whether the gel inside has been displaced to continue rendering optimal performance and safety for the patient.
