Wellell Sedens 410 Alternating Air Pressure Relief Cushion

For patients requiring 24 hour pressure care, dynamic pressure relieving seating is often needed to be used in conjunction with a pressure relief mattress. The Wellell Sedens 410 Alternating Air Pressure Relief Cushion is a lightweight hybrid cushion designed to provide alternating pressure therapy, and is suitable for use by patients at a low to medium risk of pressure sore development.

Please Note: Wellell are currently transitioning into their new branding. During this transitional period, Wellell pressure care ranges may bare Apex branding.

What's Included?

  • 1 x Wellell Sedens 410 Pressure Relief Cushion
  • 1 x Pump with Mains Power Operation
  • 1 x Fire Retardant Cover

Who Can Benefit from the Sedens 410 Pressure Relief Cushion?

This cushion is designed for patients who require 24-hour pressure care, representing a supportive complementary device to their existing pressure relief mattress. With this cushion, patients will be able to be transferred from bed to chair with peace of mind that powerful pressure relief will still be provided.

How Does This Cushion Provide Pressure Relief?

This cushion primarily provides pressure relief through six air cells with foam encased, designed to function as a one-piece hybrid pad. These cells will slowly inflate and deflate with the use of the included pump, ensuring no area of the buttocks is subject to pressure for more than a few minutes. Through this alternating air process, the risk of pressure sore development is greatly reduced.

Why is This a 'Hybrid' Cushion?

This cushion is made with a hybrid design, meaning that it includes both a supportive foam component and alternating air cells. This design is ideal for 24 hour care, as it ensures that 'bottoming out' is avoided while the patient is sitting for long periods.

What Happens When a Cushion 'Bottoms Out'?

'Bottoming Out' is the term used to describe when a cushion or mattress begins to fold under the weight of the user, causing a small portion of the patient's body to come into contact with the surface below. This can be a dangerous situation for patients at risk of developing pressure sores, which is why the hybrid design of this cushion is beneficial.

Is This Cushion Suitable for Wheelchair Use?

This cushion is designed primarily for use in care homes, hospitals and residential care environments. There is a similar version of this cushion that is battery-powered and designed for use in wheelchairs, called the Wellell Sedens 500 Pressure Relief Alternating Air Wheelchair Cushion.

Bulk Pack Available at a Reduced Price!

Some medical facilities such as care homes and hospitals may require pressure relief cushions for multiple patients, but ordering these cushions individually can be costly. For these customers, we offer a Bulk Pack of Five Sedens 410 Cushions at a reduced price per cushion.

Which Pump Does This Cushion Use?

This cushion uses the same powerful, yet nearly silent, pump that is included with the Wellell Domus 3 Pressure Relief Alternating Air Mattress Overlay. This makes these two products uniquely suited to use as a 24 hour pressure care system, as the pump can be switched between the two whenever pressure care is needed to be transferred between seating and bedding.

How Does the Sedens 410 Assist with Pressure Care Plans?

The versatility of this pressure relief cushion makes it ideal as a part of complex or 24 hour pressure care plan. When used in conjunction with other Wellell Medical products such as the Domus 3 mentioned above, pressure care can cover multiple areas of the patient's life without the repeated costs that can come from buying multiple pumps.

Is This Pressure Relief Cushion Supplied with a Cover?

Yes, this cushion is supplied with a cover that is designed to protect the cushion while enhancing comfort and reducing shear and friction for the patient. The cover is Crib 7 fire retardant, with high moisture vapour transmission that enhances breathability while wicking moisture away from the user. Seams are welded, ensuring maximum resistance to fluid ingress.

How Stable is This Cushion?

Sliding and instability can be a concern for pressure relief cushions, as patients often lack the postural support to ensure they stay in the correct position. That's why this cushion is designed with a non-slip base, helping it stay in position to provide peace of mind to the patient and carer alike.

Is There a Maximum User Weight for the Sedens 410?

Due to the strong materials used in the Sedens 410 Pressure Relief Cushion, there is no weight limit. Carers must ensure that the cushion is properly sized to the individual, as if the cushion is too small for the patient's buttocks, the pressure relief capabilities will be compromised.

Which Wheelchairs Can the Cushion Be Used With?

The Wellell Sedens Cushion can be used with virtually any wheelchair. This includes those with fabric or canvas seat bases, as well as those with a firm or solid seat base. It can also be used with self-propelled, manual, electric and transit wheelchairs.

What's the Difference Between the Sedens 410 and the Sedens 500 Alternating Cushion?

The Sedens 410 Alternating Pressure Cushion is mains power operated and should only be used with chairs in the home. The Sedens 500 Alternating Pressure Cushion is battery operated and as such is the go to choice for use with wheelchairs.

Can The Sedens Cushion Be Used with Recliner Chairs?

Yes, this cushion is highly versatile thanks to its non-slip base, allowing it be used with a wide variety of chairs including rise recliners.

Pressure Relief
28 June 2019  | 

I ordered this Apex 410 alternating pressure relief air cushion in order to get relief and I got that from day one and the open sore has now healed.

I only gave four stars because when I telephoned to get advice on the various air cushion there was not a lot of such advice on offer. Similarly I could find no reviews on these products online, which is unusual.

Once I made my decision and placed my order online it was quickly handled and delivered in about three days. It arrived well packed in a very sturdy box and securely sealed. The box contained the air cushion in its own sturdy carry box and the Domus 3 air pump also in its own sturdy box.

The product appears to be well made, but only time will tell how they will stand up to almost constant daily usage. I am using my cushion on a Riser chair which serves me both as a chair and a bed as I have to sleep in a sitting position. This presented an immediate problem in that the cushion air feed pipes are to short for use in any sort of arm chair let alone a riser type of chair. The Domus 3 air pump is designed to hang over the end of a hospital bed, but it will sit on the floor except that the cushion air feed pipes will then not be long enough to reach the floor standing air pumps. Someone at Apex has not thought this chair cushion usage through and the supply of a one and half metre pipe would allow for the air pump to be placed on the floor either side of the arm chair.

The Domus 3 pump operates most of the time almost silently once it has adjusted to the users weight. I can honestly say it has never woken me up during the night it is that quiet. A good piece of kit which is easy to set up and adjust to your requirements.
