Polyair aircell cushion

Polyair aircell cushion is an Anti-decubitus air cell cushion with two valves is ideal for the prevention of pressure ulcers with high risk or stability disorder, improving postural control. Polyair cushions have two completely independent zones to inflate each to the desired pressure.

Polyair® Cushions are medical cushions used to prevent pressure ulcers (also known as pressure sores). They use air-cell technology which is widely recognised as the best way of preventing pressure ulcers in seated patients.

Polyair aircell cushion can be used for patients with any level of risk and for people who already have pressure ulcers. The Polyair aircell cushion is suitable for use on wheelchairs, riser recliner chairs, car seats and other types of seating.

Key advantages - Polyair aircell cushion

+ Polyair has a number of key advantage over other static air cell cushions the cover is manufactured from Laxprene® material which is very flexible and elastic with a high tear strength which increases the cushions durability when compared with other similar products manufactured from Neoprene. The cover is manufactured using dipping technology which makes it extremely thin but with a constant thickness throughout.

+ The second key feature is that the cushion has a gauge to assist in setting up the cushion, this makes it possible for the cushion to be set up by a person without experience in setting up air cell cushions.

+ The final key feature of the Polyair aircell cushion is that it uses a honeycomb design, unlike other aircell products, which leads to better stability, while the user is seated.

Like all aircell cushions, the Polyair aircell cushion has excellent levels of immersion and envelopment, which are the key features in reducing interface pressure and therefore avoiding pressure ulcers

POLYAIR® cushion valves are all non-leak (like the tyres on a car), meaning that if the pump is not attached, the valve will not leak the air from the cushion.

POLYAIR cushions are made in France, by System Assistance Medical. POLYAIR cushions are made from Laxprene® material, which has been specially developed to be:

Features - Polyair aircell cushion

+ Very flexible and elastic, with a very high tearing resistance.

+ Durable.

+ Adaptable to the user's shape.

+ Ideal for pressure management, and maintenance.

+ Each cushion is manufactured through a dipping process, which gives the material a softness, ensuring a perfect response to inflation and pressure.

The honeycomb design, for the air-cell layout, increases the contact area with the user. This helps to distribute pressure over the cushion surface.

Valves - Polyair aircell cushion

POLYAIR® cushion valves are all non-leak (like the tyres on a car), meaning that if the pump is not attached, the valve will not leak the air from the cushion. This means that the air will not leak accidentally, from someone playing with the valve, or when pushing the valve through the eyelets in the cover after inflation.

Easy pump - Polyair aircell cushion

POLYAIR® cushions are provided with an easy to use hand pump with an inflation bulb. The POLYAIR® 100 and POLYAIR® 60 cushion pump also comes with a specially designed Pressure Gauge which clearly shows the cushion pressure setting when the user is sat on the cushion. The pressure setting can be calculated using the table, on this webpage. Or, for a more detailed description of how to calculate the appropriate pressure setting for the user, see the handy set up guide (downloadable below).
