Those who sit for a long time in wheelchairs might suffer from pressure ulcers and reduced blood rotation. To prevent this problem, an Air Cushion can be used. Air wheelchair cushion is used to help distribute the weight of the user more evenly across the cushion, reducing the risk of pressure sores and skin breakdown. It consists of chambers inflated with air to fit each individual. Air can travel between sections, which allows the cushion to contour to the user as they move or be locked in individual chambers to provide specific pressure relief to specific areas. Air cushion provides good pressure distribution to each user when properly inflated and need to be checked regularly to ensure appropriate inflation levels and allow proper immersion while sitting. HPFY offers inflatable seat cushions from top manufacturers like The Roho Group, The Comfort Company, Skil Care Corp, and many others.
