Our extensive range of pressure care products

Pressure care products play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of those at risk of developing pressure sores, ulcers, or discomfort due to prolonged periods of immobility. With this in mind, we offer a wide range of products catering to different needs and requirements, including but not limited to:

• Wheelchair cushions are essential for individuals who spend a significant amount of time in wheelchairs. These cushions are designed to provide comfort and reduce the risk of pressure sores and should be chosen based on the user's weight, mobility level, and specific pressure relief needs.

  There are several types of wheelchair cushions available:

  • Foam Cushions: These are made of high-density foam and come in various thicknesses and densities. Foam cushions offer good support and are often affordable.
     
  • Gel Cushions: Gel cushions contain a gel-like material that conforms to the shape of the user's body, providing excellent pressure redistribution and comfort.
     
  • Air Cushions: Air cushions use air-filled cells to distribute pressure evenly. They can be adjusted to the user's preferences for firmness and support. Roho cushions, for example, are known for their unique design, featuring interconnected air cells. They offer excellent pressure relief and can be adjusted to accommodate individual needs.
     

• Bed overlays are placed on top of an existing mattress to enhance comfort and relieve pressure. They are typically made from foam, gel, or air cells. Here are some common types:

  • Foam Overlays: These overlays are filled with high-density foam designed to conform to the body's shape. They help distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure on vulnerable areas.
     
  • Gel Overlays: Gel overlays contain gel-filled compartments that provide excellent pressure redistribution. They are known for their ability to reduce heat buildup and provide a cooler sleeping surface.
     
  • Air Overlays: Air overlays consist of interconnected air cells that can be adjusted to the individual's desired firmness. They are ideal for individuals who require precise pressure management.
     

• Heel and elbow protectors are essential for individuals at risk of developing pressure ulcers in these vulnerable areas, especially those who have limited mobility or spend extended periods in bed or in a seated position. They are made of soft, cushioned, breathable materials and come in various designs.
   

• Pressure-relieving slippers reduce pressure on the feet and comfort individuals with sensitive or at-risk feet, like those with diabetes or circulation problems.
   

• Positioning aids help people maintain proper body alignment, reduce pressure on specific areas, and prevent the development of pressure sores. These aids are particularly useful for people with limited mobility or bedridden. Here are some common types:

  • Wedges: Wedges are triangular-shaped cushions or pillows that elevate specific body parts, such as the head, legs, or torso. They can help reduce pressure on the back and relieve conditions like acid reflux, snoring, or respiratory issues.
     
  • Positioning Pillows: These are specially designed pillows that come in various shapes and sizes to support specific body parts. For example, a positioning pillow might be shaped to support the lumbar spine or to relieve pressure on the heels.
     
  • Bolsters: Bolsters are cylindrical or rectangular cushions that provide support and positioning for different body areas. They can be placed under the knees, ankles, or neck to maintain proper alignment.
     

When purchasing any pressure care products, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or occupational therapist to ensure that the products meet the specific needs and conditions of the individual. Proper fitting, usage, and maintenance are critical for the effectiveness of these products in preventing pressure sores and providing comfort.

At Active Mobility, we have occupational therapists in-house who can provide expert recommendations and support — book a showroom appointment to chat with our friendly team in person today.
