Community Vitality is an innovative pressure reducing cushion made from the highest quality materials, it is designed to deliver optimum pressure reduction and thereby provide superior comfort for those who require special seating care.
Community Vitality pressure care cushion is made from an energy-absorbing, temperature sensitive material that responds to heat and moulds itself uniformly around the patient. Visco-elastic work by conforming to the contours of the body shape reducing pressure to an absolute minimum. This allows patients to benefit from the maximum support and pressure protection possible during sitting, without the pressure or discomfort.
Key features at a glance
- Adapts to the body’s shape to give excellent pressure re-distribution.
- Re-adjusts to any positional change of the body and re-moulds within just 10 seconds.
- Superior positioning and stability due to better anatomical contouring: Visco-elastic foam creates a natural pommel and trough effect acting against knee rotation.
- Minimises friction and shear.
- Is extremely robust, so there is less need to worry about it being damaged.
- No maintenance, no alarms, no vibration, no cables, no noisy electronics.
- It is hygienic as the antibacterial treated foam is not a conducive environment for bed bugs.
- Superior Infection control design with zip opening set inboard and underneath to ensure that the cushion is always used the correct way up. Also underneath zips avoid long upper side seams which risk ingress of fluids; fluids will not rise upwards.
- "Any Way Up" two sided visco-elastic version is available on request.
Patient benefits
- It provides excellent pressure redistribution moulding to the shape of the body and spreading the weight over a wide surface area.
- By creating a mould the sliding forces experienced when sitting up are better contained, thereby reducing friction and shear damage to tissues.
- It allows the body to breath: A two-way stretch waterproof and vapour-permeable cover is used.
Carer benefits
- Is extremely simple to use: there are no complicated electronics to operate.
- Cost effective: challenges the role in the Community of alternating air cushions.
