emphasis on even distribution of pressure
The Gelcell G2 Cushion focuses on comfort and health - with advanced air action to improve stability and pressure redistribution for the buttocks and ischial tuberosities. The Gelcell Cushion uses this air action to facilitate oxygen uptake, maintaining blood flow, enhancing capillary health and increasing circulation. Together these factors all help to reduce the likelihood of pressure sores developing.
MULTI-FACETED TruGel Technology relieves and absorbs heat
The cooling gel inside this revolutionary cushion isn't like your standard pressure relief gel. Instead, this specially formulated TruGel is silicone based, to provide superior impact dampening properties. This gel enhances the pressure-distribution of the cushion, minimising the effects of harmful shear forces. Additionally, the gel absorbs heat, providing a positive effect on skin temperature, adding extra cooling and comfort to the user.
Carefully Designed Air Circulation
The Relax Gelcell G2 pressure relief cushion is designed so that when pressure is applied, air circulates to each of the cells. This circulation distributes weight evenly, reducing the natural high pressure concentrations that would normally form around bony prominences in the user's body. The GelCell G2 is made up of three layers of polyurethane (PU), with a thickness of 1mm, making it highly durable and highly resistant to puncture.
SHAPED TO ASSIST POSTURE AND STABILITY
The air cells in this pressure relief cushion are specially contoured towards the rear, which works to promote good posture and pelvic tilt in the user. This posture promotion adds to the comfort of sitting for long periods of time, and promotes better back health and less pain over time.
About Pressure Sores
Pressure sores are areas of damaged skin and tissue that develop when prolonged periods of uninterrupted pressure cut off the circulation to vulnerable parts of the body. Without adequate blood flow, the affected tissue dies. These sores can occur in anyone with impaired mobility, but they don't have to, as with the appropriate pressure relieving system, they can be easily avoided.
Trulife Relax offers a complete range of pressure relieving cushions for wheelchair users and people of restricted mobility, who are at increased risk of developing pressure sores. The range has been designed to re-distribute weight and provide excellent pressure relief and optimum comfort at an affordable cost.
The Gelcell G2 is available in seven sizes. (36 x 36cm to 46 x 46cm)
