Alerta Sensaflex 350 Bariatric High Risk Memory Foam Pressure Relief Cushion
Obese patients with mobility issues often spend a lot of time sitting in the same position, which can put them at serious risk of pressure related injuries. The Alerta Sensaflex 350 Bariatric High Risk Memory Foam Pressure Relief Cushion is engineered to help bariatric patients avoid pressure sores and ulcers. The memory foam top is comfortable and safely distributes pressure, while the base has a really high density in order to withstand the added weight of obese patients.

Which Patients Is This Cushion Suitable For?
This pressure relief cushion is designed for patients at high risk of pressure sore development. It absorbs and redistributes pressure as safely and painlessly as possible.
Made for Obese Patients

This Alerta pressure pillow can effectively provide relief to people weighing up to 280kg. For pressure relief for lighter patients, have a look at the Sensaflex 300 Cushion, which only supports users up to 150kg, but is graded for patients at a very high risk of pressure injuries.

Yes, this cushion is a suitable option for wheelchair users up to a high risk of pressure sore development. It measures 45 x 56 x 12cm, which should fit the wheelchairs of most bariatric patients, but please measure the wheelchair before purchasing this cushion.
Memory Foam Top for Comfort
The top of the Sensaflex pillow is made of a memory foam moulds to the user to provide comfort and support. It spreads weight evenly and gently to minimise the effects of pressure.
