Abstract
Early rehabilitation of bed-bound patients has highlighted the need for pressure-reducing seating to complement pressure-reducing mattresses. The technology within cushion manufacturing has responded with a customized contouring principle for cushions. This has previously only been available on an individualized patient basis. The range of Flo-tech cushions has attempted to provide the general patient population with a cushion that will reduce pressure, provide support and improve posture. The importance of seating in pressure sore prevention cannot be overemphasized. The provision of pressure-reducing cushions can assist in providing a total package of pressure reduction for the patient.
