PURAP Wheelchair Cushion for Bedsore Prevention and Healing - Patented Liquid + Air + Foam Layers – 18 x 20 x 1.5 inches - Black

The PURAP cushion is designed for people who use a wheelchair or scooter, the elderly, and patients with limited mobility, as they are at high risk for developing pressure sores. It has been developed specifically to help prevent and heal pressure sores (aka bedsores, pressure ulcers) and provide relief for patients suffering from sciatica, fibromyalgia, ischial pain, and other conditions that cause sitting pain.

PRESSURE SORES AND SITTING PAIN ARE THE RESULT OF 'PRESSURE HOTSPOTS'

When you sit, only a few contact points end up supporting most of your body weight. All sitting surfaces push back on these contact points creating 'pressure hotspots'. Continuous pressure on these hotspots causes sitting pain and pressure sores.

PURAP USES 3D FLOTATION TECHNOLOGY TO ELIMINATE PRESSURE HOTSPOTS

Our patented 3D flotation technology has 3 different layers - fluid, air, and foam. Each layer responds differently under pressure and together they dissipate the pressure away from underneath you and provide comfort and support.

OUTPERFORMS GEL, MEMORY FOAM, AND AIR CUSHIONS

Other cushions are designed to compress so that you experience a feeling of relief when you 'sink-into' the cushion. However, they try to 'spring-back' to their original shape and you feel the same high pressure points.

The PURAP cushion does not compress and does not produce that "sinking in" feeling. It is designed to provide a comfortable and firm feeling over a long period of time.
