Viscoform - Anatomical viscoelastic anti-decubitus cushion

Viscoform Anatomical Viscoelastic Cushion prevents the appearance of bedsores or pressure ulcers typical of the bodies that remain immobile for a long period of time. These injuries are manifested especially in the support points of the body such as the heels, buttocks, shoulders, knees, elbows and hips.

The excessive pressure of the bones deprives them of blood, and therefore of oxygen, which first causes a reddening of the pressure zone and then a destruction of the skin and deep wounds. To avoid its appearance, it would be convenient to place suitable products under each support point and frequently change the patient's position (on average every 3 hours), as well as avoid any type of humidity because it favors the appearance of these ulcers. Depending on the risk of bedsores and the weight of the user, the use of one cushion or another will be recommended.

Anatomic memory foam cushion that relieves pressure, acting to prevent the appearance of bedsores in people who remain seated for long periods of time while, thanks to its anatomical shape, provides great stability and helps maintain good posture. PU (polyurethane) cover breathable and waterproof at the same time.

Features - Viscoform viscoelastic cushion

+ Better distribution of pressures, reduction of transcutaneous pressure in high risk areas, facilitating blood circulation.

+ Improves comfort and stability.

+ With a very high density of memory foam (80kg / m3) it prevents deformation and extends the life of the cushion.

Viscoform viscoelastic cushion can be used

+ Pressure ulcer already present (phase I to II). The person requires a change of position for relief from pressure points.

+ Suitable for prevention of people with historical past of pressure ulcer.

+ People with paralysis of the trunk or lower extremities, and / or with altered or absent sensation of the lower limbs.

+ With alteration of frontal stability, and / or with slight postural asymmetries and also with amputation of the lower limbs.

+ The cushion can be used without adjustment.

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.
