Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion for Comfort and Care

Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion introduction

Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion is a premium pressure relief solution designed to provide exceptional support and comfort for individuals at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Combining the benefits of both viscoelastic foam and gel, this cushion effectively redistributes pressure and enhances user comfort for those who spend prolonged periods sitting. The viscoelastic foam conforms to the user’s body shape, providing personalised body support that promotes proper posture and reduces the risk of developing pressure points. The integrated foam and gel layers work to evenly disperse weight and helps regulate temperature, reducing heat buildup that could lead to discomfort and skin irritation.

This pressure relief cushion is particularly beneficial for elderly and disabled people with limited mobility who may be unable to reposition themselves regularly. The Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion helps reduce the risk of pressure ulcers, which can be painful, difficult to treat, and potentially life-threatening. By supporting healthy blood flow and ensuring an even distribution of weight, the cushion helps maintain skin integrity, prevent tissue breakdown, and improve overall comfort. The combination of gel and viscoelastic foam also helps minimize shear forces, which can contribute to skin damage over time.

The Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion is ideal for use in both care institutions and home environments, offering a practical solution for anyone requiring enhanced pressure relief and support during extended periods of sitting. Its ergonomic design not only provides superior comfort but also helps maintain proper body alignment, reducing strain on the lower back and hips. The cushion’s materials are durable and easy to clean, ensuring a high standard of hygiene for users, which is especially important for individuals with health vulnerabilities. Whether used on a wheelchair or a standard chair, the Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion is an essential addition for maintaining comfort, health, and well-being for those with mobility challenges.

Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion is made from moulded and contoured viscoelastic foam base with a polyurethane SensaGel insert presenting 2 different densities for effective comfort and care and effective pressure distribution. The SensaGel ensures maximum relief to bony areas during sitting, whilst the moulded contoured shape of the cushion secures good body posture and prevents the user from slipping forward. Suitable for use at home, in hospitals and in care homes, the Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion provides comfortable sitting and safe and secure positioning.             

SensaGel is guaranteed not to harden, leak or dry over time, even if the cushion is accidently punctured. This contributes to durability of the Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion. Alerta Gel-Visco Cushion is supplied with removable black cover with white underside and non-slip backing.
