Pressure Relief Cushions

Bedsores or pressure ulcers are skin lesions that can be more or less deep, caused by excessive and prolonged compression of the tissues that are in contact with the surface on which they rest. When you spend a lot of time sitting or lying down, there are areas that are in constant contact with the chair or bed. This can stop blood from circulating properly and lead to ulcers. To avoid these bedsores in people who spend a long time seated, we can use anti-bedsore cushions or pressure relief cushions, since they reduce the pressure of support and make the blood circulation in the skin better.
