Pressure ulcers are a common problem in wheelchair users.
Long hours of sitting exerts pressure on our skin. This is made worse by the friction between the wheelchair seat and our body, which can cause our skin to tear. The elderly have thin and fragile skin that tears easily. This can cause painful ulcers and infection, requiring hospitalisation.
Thus, a good pressure relief cushion is of utmost importance for wheelchair users.
The EXGEL Owl Cushion contains a proprietary material that distributes pressure by conforming to your body's shape. Its unique owl shape was developed after extensive research by Kaji Corporation and the Foundation for Yokohama Rehabilitation Service.
The extreme softness of EXGEL is gentle even for the most delicate skin. EXGEL's high shock absorbency is 10x greater than normal urethane foam, which helps to buffer the shearing forces between our skin and cushion.
Enjoy hours of comfortable sitting and postural stability with EXGEL.
