Why do you need a pressure ulcer cushion?
A pressure ulcer cushion reduces the risk of tissue damage, provides comfort and helps you take care of your health. Pressure ulcers occur when prolonged pressure on the skin and tissue restricts blood flow, causing pain and tissue necrosis. They often occur in immobile, bedridden patients and pose a serious health risk. An anti-decubitus cushion reduces pressure, distributes weight evenly, improves blood circulation and prevents ulcers. Air models provide controlled support during prolonged sitting or lying down, improving the quality of life of bedridden patients.
Who is recommended to use anti-decubitus pillows
Anti-decubitus cushions have a preventive effect and help to care for vulnerable groups.
It is necessary to buy a pillow against pressure ulcers for people with limited mobility. For example, those in wheelchairs or bedridden may suffer from diaper rash and pressure sores.
Also, patients after surgery who need prolonged rest will benefit from a pillow against pressure sores.
People with chronic illnesses that require prolonged sitting or lying down also need anti-decubitus pillows.
