Trulife Relax Gelcell Pressure Relief Wheelchair Cushion
For users of wheelchairs, it's important to have the best cushion possible, as extended contact with conventional seating surfaces can lead to the development of dangerous pressure sores. The Trulife Gelcell Pressure Relief Wheelchair Cushion represents a sophisticated solution to these problems, using a unique combination of air and cooling gel technology to provide effective pressure relief, comfort and cooling to high risk users.
Combined Cooling Power of Air and Gel
This pressure relief cushion sets itself apart from the competition by using two, not just one, methods of pressure relief and cooling. The cooling additive gel inside the cushion helps to draw heat away from the body, leaving the user cool and comfortable. In addition, this cushion features 34 interconnected air-filled cells, which allow constant air movement across the surface of the cushion. These two cooling forces combine to provide an unrivalled level of cooling, for a comfortable and safe sitting experience.
Improved Blood Flow
The Relax Gelcell Pressure Relief Cushion uses advanced air action in the cushion to enhance capillary function in the skin, maintaining blood flow and oxygen uptake. This enhanced blood flow helps to increase comfort, and just as importantly, greatly reduce the risk of pressur sores.
Advanced TruGel Technology
The cooling gel inside this revolutionary cushion isn't like your standard pressure relief gel. Instead, this specially formulated TruGel is silicone based, to provide superior impact dampening properties. This gel enhances the pressure-distribution of the cushion, minimising the effects of harmful shear forces. Additionally, the gel absorbs heat, providing a positive effect on skin temperature, adding extra cooling and comfort to the user.
Carefully Designed Air Circulation
The Relax Gelcell pressure relief cushion is designed so that when pressure is applied, air circulates to each of the cells. This circulation distributes weight evenly, reducing the natural high pressure concentrations that would normally form around bony prominences in the user's body. The GelCell is made up of three layers of polyurethane (PU), with a thickness of 1mm, making it highly durable and highly resistant to puncture.
Pressure Sores
Pressure sores are areas of damaged skin and tissue that develop when prolonged periods of uninterrupted pressure cut off the circulation to vulnerable parts of the body. Without adequate blood flow, the affected tissue dies. These sores can occur in anyone with impaired mobility, but they don't have to, as with the appropriate pressure relieving system, they can be easily avoided.
Trulife Relax offers a complete range of pressure relieving cushions for wheelchair users and people of restricted mobility, who are at increased risk of developing pressure sores. The range has been designed to re-distribute weight and provide excellent pressure relief and optimum comfort at an affordable cost.
Available in 6 sizes with 2 choices of cover.
