ULTRAFORM SEATING CUSHIONS
Matching the needs of the individual patient.
|
In 1987, American Health Systems introduced the first pressure relieving mattress with Interface Surface Technology (IST�), for the prevention and treatment of Stage 1 and 2 Decubitus Ulcers. The IST� design was also used to create a true pressure relieving mattress overlay and complete line of wheelchair cushions appropriate for low to high-risk patients.
ULTRA�FORM IST� relieves pressure and eliminates shearing forces, which many studies have shown to be a major factor in early stage skin breakdown. The IST� surface utilizes hundreds of polymer cells that conform to the shape of the individual patient, and self-adjust with position changes. Individual therapeutic cells distribute weight, reducing pressure while air channels surrounding each cell keep the surface cooler, avoiding moisture/heat build-up.
ULTRA�FORM products include:
- pressure relieving mattresses for weights up to 800 lbs.
- pressure reduction mattresses for weights up to 600 lbs.
- pressure relieving mattress overlay
- seating cushions for weights up to 350 lbs. (18-24" widths)
- foot stabilizer; wedge body positioner
- a full range of bedside floor pads (2-4" heights) to prevent injury and increase patient safety
|
BENEFITS
- The interface pressure on the buttocks is reduced by over 50% compared to the pressure exerted by a plain wheelchair surface
- Easy to use. There are no pumps, no leaks, no maintenance, no problems.
- The individual cells conform to the shape of the patient, so the patient sits "in" the cushion, not on top of it.
- Many designs and options available to match the needs of the patient.
- Low cost makes it an excellent convalescent device.

The "PATENTED" ULTRA�FORM Wedge Cushion combines high-density foam and IST� Surface Technology. The contoured "ischial relief zone" located on the bottom surface provides extra pressure relief for this sensitive area.
The contoured "ischial relief zone" surrounds bony prominences, eliminating pressure as IST surface cells disperse overall pressures. Cell-to-cell air channels keep the surface cooler, avoiding moisture/heat build-up.
The Wedge design elevates the legs for healthy seating posture and prevents forward sliding for a restraint free setting. 18 month warranty.
