PURAP Wheelchair Cushion for Bedsore Prevention and Healing - Patented Liquid + Air + Foam Layers – 18 x 20 x 1.5 inches - Blue
The PURAP cushion is designed to prevent sores and help heal sores in advanced stages. It is effective as a cushion for wheelchairs, recliners, car seats, office chairs and fits most other chairs. PURAP ELIMINATES PRESSURE HOTSPOTS TO PREVENT FORMATION OF PRESSURE SORES When you sit, only a few contact points end up supporting most of your body weight. Pressure gets concentrated on these contact points creating 'pressure hotspots'. Continuous pressure on these hotspots creates pressure sores. PURAP DISSIPATES PRESSURE EFFECTIVELY TO HELP HEAL SORES THAT HAVE ALREADY FORMED The PURAP cushion dissipates pressure effectively and provides a low uniform pressure. This helps prevent worsening of existing sores, heal existing bedsores (even in advanced stages) faster, and prevent recurrence. PURAP REDUCES SITTING PAIN BY PREVENTING CIRCULATION CUTOFF The PURAP cushion also prevents circulation cut-off and skin shear, and helps maintain optimal skin microclimate. This relieves the sitting pain, numbness and soreness in your bottom. PATENTED FLUID 3D FLOTATION TECHNOLOGY The PURAP cushion has 3 different layers - fluid, air, and foam. The fluid layer is closest to the body and increases the direct support area for your body. Each layer responds differently under pressure and together they dissipate the pressure away from underneath you. PURAP OUTPERFORMS FOAM, GEL AND AIR CUSHIONS IN PRESSURE RELIEF In comparative pressure tests, PURAP provides lower peak pressure than foam, gel and air cushions. While other cushions compress and 'pack-down' and form a hard support surface, the fluid in PURAP does not compress and provides dynamic pressure reduction.
