BetterLiving Silicone Fibre Cushion

Add to quote

An ideal choice for geriatric or palliative care, this soft cushion is made from silicone coated cylindrical fibers covered by a breathable cotton/polyester cover.

These fibers are specially designed to retain their loft and not to flatten with prolonged use.

The cylindrical shape helps to keep air flowing around the skin’s surface, keeping skin healthy and helping to regulate your temperature.

Offering good support and superior comfort, the special silicone coating also helps to reduce friction and shear two factors that significantly contribute to the risk of a pressure ulcer.

The silicone coating also helps to stop moisture from sweat or other bodily fluids from penetrating the cushion’s surface.

Pressure injury or pressure ulcers can occur when someone sits or lies for too long in one position without moving or shifting their weight.

Blood vessels take oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body, including the skin.

Constant pressure in one area means that blood and nutrients are not able to reach the skin in this area.

Tissue that is deprived of oxygen and other nutrients for even a short period of time will eventually die.

This can lead to very serious complications, and cause great pain and suffering to patients.

Covered with a breathable cotton/polyester fabric, the cushion is flame retardant and machine washable with standard detergent.

Available in four different sizes to suit different chairs or to accommodate different sized users refer to the brochure for detailed measurements of each size.

The maximum user weight is 110 kilograms.
