wheelchair seat cushion

In order to avoid pressure sores, attention should be paid to wheelchair cushions. It is possible to use eggcrate or Roto cushions as much as possible. This kind of cushion is composed of a large piece of plastic with a large number of nipple-shaped plastic hollow columns with a diameter of about 5 cm. Each The columns are soft and easy to move, and the pressure surface becomes a large number of pressure points after the patient sits on it.

Moreover, when the patient moves a little, the pressure point changes with the movement, so that the pressure point can be constantly changed to avoid pressure sores caused by frequent pressure on the same part.

If there is no above-mentioned cushion, you need to use layered foam plastic, its thickness should be 10cm, the upper layer is 0.5cm thick high-density polyarethane foam plastic, and the lower layer is medium-density plastic of the same nature. Density is supportive, medium density is soft and comfortable.

When sitting, the ischial tubercle bears a lot of pressure, which often exceeds the pressure of the normal capillary end by 1 to 16 times, and is prone to ischemia to form pressure sores.

In order to avoid excessive pressure here, a piece of the mat at the corresponding place is often dug out to allow the ischial tuberosity to be elevated. When digging, the front should be 2.5 cm in front of the ischial tubercle, and the side should be 2.5 cm outside the tubercle.

The depth of the wheelchair is about 7.5cm. After digging, the cushion is in a concave shape with the gap at the back. If the above-mentioned cushion is used and the incision is used, the occurrence of pressure sores can be prevented quite effectively.
