By properly <strong>using pressure relief cushions<\/strong>, their onset can be prevented.<\/p>\n<p>Their purpose is to sink down further in areas with bony prominences so that pressure areas can be distributed. This makes the support surface larger because when the patient sits down the cushion takes the shape of the body and distributes the pressure over the entire support surface.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pressure relief cushions help distribute pressure over the entire support surface.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"Types_of_pressure_relief_cushion\">\u00a0Types of pressure relief cushion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Several <strong>types of pressure relief cushion<\/strong> are available to suit the needs of each patient.

Patients in this group can choose between three models: <strong>fleece cushions<\/strong>, filled with hollow fibre and featuring a very soft and seamless outer fabric to prevent chafing, low-density <strong>viscoelastic pressure relief cushions<\/strong> and <strong>liquid flotation pressure relief cushions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pressure relief cushions<\/strong> for people without mobility. These cushions are designed for people who have or have had pressure ulcers, are obese or are extremely thin. In these cases, the most suitable are <strong>high-density viscoelastic<\/strong>, liquid flotation, silicone or air cushions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Silicone provides flexibility, increases resistance to breaking and ensures a soft and satiny feel. Air cushions, on the other hand, prevent the onset of pressure ulcers in high-risk patients and those with a stability disorder, improving posture control.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not know <strong>which pressure relief cushion to choose<\/strong>, you may be interested in the following article:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orliman.com\/elegir-cojin-antiescaras\/\">How to choose a pressure relief cushion<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Pressure_relief_cushions_by_Orliman\">Pressure relief cushions by Orliman<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Orliman<\/strong>\u2019s <strong>pressure relief cushions<\/strong> can be round, square or horseshoe-shaped.
