The holes in the anti-bedsore cushions are strategically designed to reduce pressure on sensitive areas of the body, such as the coccyx, buttocks and lower back. This is particularly relevant for patients with difficulties in changing position, such as those with paralysis, recovering from surgery or with medical conditions that require prolonged rest.
The main function of these cushions is to prevent the formation of pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers. These painful skin lesions develop when constant pressure on specific areas of the body disrupts blood flow and damages the skin. The holes in the pressure pads allow pressure to be reduced in these critical areas, reducing the risk of ulcers.
For people with limited mobility or who spend long periods of time in wheelchairs, pressure cushions offer significant relief. They help distribute weight more evenly, preventing not only pressure ulcers, but also the discomfort and pain associated with constant pressure on certain areas of the body.
In summary, the holes in the pressure cushions play an essential role in the care of patients with reduced mobility. They provide relief by redistributing pressure to critical areas of the body, preventing the formation of pressure ulcers and improving the comfort of those who rely on them to maintain their quality of life during recovery or long-term care. These cushions are a crucial tool in the care of patients with special needs, ensuring their well-being and comfort.
