The EquaGel General is a unique medical grade gel seat cushion made from a dry-polymer gel in a columnar structure. Very comfortable, highly effective, durable and long lasting. This cushion is excellent for people needed a serious pressure relieving cushion. Anyone at risk of developing a pressure sore will benefit from this cushion. Its unique design and cellular structure allows weight to pass outwards and away from pressure points. The areas most likely to develop pressure sores are allowed to float nearly pressure-free within the pad while the user’s weight is distributed evenly across the cushion. THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE: Traditional cushioning technologies compress under load and “push back” causing pressure and ischemia and putting a user at risk of developing an ulcer. The farther a foam is compressed, the harder it pushes back, meaning greater the risk of developing a sore. This old compression strategy only attempts to slow the development of pressure sores rather than eliminating pressure points. Air cushions have this same problem, especially as they go out of proper adjustment. With the Equagel cushion users can sit comfortably and safer for longer. In 10 out of 10 clinical trials, patients with stage 3 decubitus ulcers saw those sores close with the aid of our column buckling-gel technology. It has similar widely-recognized success in wound care as a critical care bed. EquaGelTM’s patented technology has been approved as a medical surface in the US and Canada. RECOMMENDED: The General is ideal for people who sit for long periods of time and who are in need of a very comfortable cushion and who are at low to medium risk of pressure sores.
