Multi-purpose Pillows for Aged Care
Safety and Mobility offer a highly extensive range of multipurpose, high quality cushions to comply with your specific needs and requirements to be used in hospitals, nursing homes, aged care facilities, community care and residential living environments. We offer a variety of designs and styles which produce different levels of comfort and support. Our cushions support varying levels of pressure relief including those needing low, medium and high levels of pressure care.
Seating & Positioning Cushions for Healthcare
Our cushions are made of different materials including memory foam, visco-elastic foam, polyurethane foam, fluid, floam, flogel, silicone coated fibre and gel, each material provides a specific type of care and support for the user. Many of the cushions offer a convoluted surface area which allows for air circulation. Our range of cushions are highly regarded by occupational therapists and physiotherapists and our different cushions offer lateral stability and support, coccyx support which maintains the lumbar spine optimal curve, pressure relief and distribution for sensitive areas, a reduction in shear forces during transfers and repositioning, significant shock, vibration and impact absorption, good blood circulation and many enhance the user’s sitting position and posture. The contoured designs centre the user and position their pelvis back in the wheelchair. Our ROHO cushions offer high and low-profile cells, the high-profile cells allow greater depth immersion which provide high levels of pressure care and the low-profile cells maximise stability and make transfers easier for active clients. Many of our cushions come with additional extras which may include machine washable covers, waterproof covers, leather covers, carry handles and pumps. We also offer posture wedges, wheelchair cushions including back and arm pads and foam and inflatable ring cushions. Bariatric options are available.
