Alova cushion

Alova cushion

Alova cushion is a pressure relief cushion made of 75 kg/cm3 memory foam, anatomical and molded with coccyx discharge to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. Breathable, waterproof and elastic cover.

The memory foam material absorbs the pressures in an exceptional way: if we leave our hand on its surface and remove it, we can observe its contour perfectly. This material has the so-called "memory effect". That is, although we see that our contour stays very easily, it always returns to its original position when the pressure is no longer felt: it does not deform.

This viscoelactic cushion is recommended for those people with a medium risk of bedsores and who sit for a long time without changing their posture. The user will enjoy immediate pressure relief, which translates into a better quality of life. Prevents the appearance of eschar in the sacrum, hamstrings and coccyx. The final part of the back is where the ulcers appear first if we sit for a long time and that is why using a skin-protection cushion is a great idea: it is always better to prevent than to cure on the issue of bedsores and it is advisable not to wait to appear to act against them.

Efficient: ALOVA® visco elastic material favors the immersion of parts of the body in contact with the support, to reduce the values pressure maximums.

Safety: cushion in decline to prevent slipping forward, Integral protection, non-slip bottom.

Comfort: Breathable textile, improves thermoregulation.

Discharge of the coccyx reducing the risk of bedsores. Minimal reduction of the risk of bedsores at the level of the ischial zone (height> 6 cm).
