Item Details
Invacare MSS Flo-Tech Lite Visco Cushion
ILC Reference NO 43:61:040
Item sourced from ILC VIC database
Factors to Consider
It is important that the user reposition themselves, or be repositioned, on a regular basis. This relieves pressure and helps prevent tissue compression and potential pressure ulcer formation.
All cushions must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the users weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct choice and depth of foam), a different product may need to be considered.'
Do not attempt to move the cushion by its handle while the user is seated on it
Short Description
