Reflexion is a foam which reacts to body heat and moulds to the body’s shape, thus distributing weight more evenly, and thereby improving circulation.

Key Features for CC
A heavy-duty contoured cushion with a gel insert suitable for use up to 190 kgs /30 stones. Incorporates a thick layer of viscoelastic foam to enable stable immersion of the ischial tuberosities. Incorporates a pommel to minimise sheer forces. Base material is made from the highest foam class – Class X: this will ensure longevity and durability in areas of constant use. Suitable for use with subjects clinically assessed at high risk of tissue breakdown. Cover material can be supplied in a two-way stretch option: this will improve the dispersion of load.

*Pressure mapping carried out on a healthy 89 kgs/14-stone man, using Vyflex two-way stretch vinyl and two-way stretch vapour permeable cover. The mapping gives a good indication as to the effectiveness of the cushion, but its use must be combined with a programme of nursing care for the individual patient.
