Use

Vacuum system for positioning and safe support particularly for severe and multiple disabilities.

Advantages

• Because of the extremely well distributed pressure on the supporting area new positioning of the patient is less often necessary.
• Optimal pressure relief by even pressure distribution of the body surface.
• Multi-functional use: e.g. supported positioning on one‘s front and back, abduction positioning, alternating positioning on one‘s side, supported knee position, supported and kept seat.
• Easy adjustment of the cushion material to existing anatomical conditions.
• Easy handling for the nursing staff.
• Provides good levels of stability and lying comfort to both the trunk and pelvis.
• Stability/optimum pressure relief by even distribution of the surface load in the seat & back area, which is beneficial
• for decubitus prophylaxis.
• Precise adjustment by use of fine polystyrene granules as filling material and a cover made out of high elastic neoprene.
• Vacuum technology, which is easy to handle with. Air supply or evacuation is achieved by using a self-closing valve with removable dual function hand pump.
• Additional pressure relief for body parts, which are decubitus endangered.
• The filling amount can be varied by use of the integrated ‘transfer filling’ pipe.

Materials

• 1-chamber cushion out of 3,5mm eudermic nylon-jersey coated neoprene. To make the adjustment easier, the bottom part is made out of stable, stress-resistant Armatex covered neoprene.
• The cushion is filled with extremely fine and stable polystyrene granules and can be disinfected and hand washed up to 60°C.
