Alerta Gel Cushion

Alerta Gel Cushion for Comfort and Care

Alerta Gel Cushion introduction

The Alerta Gel Cushion is an effective pressure relief solution designed to provide essential support and comfort for elderly and disabled individuals at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Ideal for those who spend extended periods sitting, the cushion is crafted with high-quality gel to ensure optimal pressure distribution and relieve stress from areas prone to developing pressure sores, such as the buttocks and thighs. The gel layer within the cushion works to reduce pressure by evenly dispersing weight, thereby improving blood circulation and reducing the risk of tissue damage and skin breakdowns. This makes it an essential product for those with limited mobility who cannot reposition themselves as often as needed.

The cushion is particularly beneficial in both care institutions and home settings, offering comfort, support, and safety for individuals who require long-term sitting assistance. The gel component also provides a cooling effect, helping to reduce heat buildup, which can further irritate sensitive skin and lead to increased discomfort. This feature is especially useful for individuals with continence problems, as it minimizes moisture buildup on the skin, reducing the risk of skin irritation and damage.

The Alerta Gel Cushion is designed to help maintain proper body posture while seated, promoting an upright and well-supported position that can significantly reduce the strain on the back and joints. This enhances not only the physical comfort of users but also their overall well-being by reducing the likelihood of developing secondary health issues linked to poor posture. With its durable construction and high-quality materials, the Alerta Gel Cushion is made to withstand long-term use, providing consistent and reliable support to help improve the quality of life for those needing enhanced pressure relief. The cushion is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring optimal hygiene, which is crucial for users with health vulnerabilities.

Alerta Gel Cushion contains polyurethane SensaGel that acts as a layer of artificial fat, providing soft comforting cushioning to bony prominences during prolonged sitting. Alerta Gel Cushion is perfect for comfort and pressure distribution. Suitable for use at home, in hospitals and in care homes, the Alerta Gel Cushion can slide and move laterally and is therefore perfect for effective reduction of shear forces. 

SensaGel is guaranteed not to harden, leak or dry with time or if the cushion is accidently punctured, ensuring lasting durability of the Alerta Gel Cushion. Alerta Gel Cushion is supplied with removable black cover with white underside and anti-slip base.
