Basket: Gel Cushions
Advantages of Gel vs. Foam
- Gel will support the patient evenly across the horizontal plain on which the patient is lying, whereas foam will breakdown over an extended period of time.
- Gel is designed to simulate human fatty tissue composition, foam does not exhibit these properties.
- Gel reduces shear and friction that contributes to skin breakdown and the formation of ducubitae.
- Gel is reusable (cost effective), vs. disposable. Gel is repairable, whereas foam would need to be disposed of if ripped.
- Gel pads are Anti-microbial and Anti-bacterial.
- Gel pads and positioners, are manufactured with a 1/4 inch continuous seal to the outer edge of the product to eliminate the chance for contaminants to collect between the gel skin.
