Frequently asked questions
How does the 3-layer system provide advanced pressure relief?
The Graham-Field Bariatric Cushion uses a sophisticated, 4-inch thick tri-layer construction designed for superior pressure distribution and weight equalization for users up to 650 lbs. This multi-layer approach significantly minimizes tissue interface pressure:
- Foundation: A medium-density foam base provides necessary stability and core structure.
- Core Layer (Specialized Gel): This crucial layer uses a proprietary, non-aqueous visco-elastic gel formulated as a flexible solid that will not leak. It is strategically positioned across three critical pressure zones to target and reduce peak pressure.
- Topper Layer (Memory Foam): A layer of visco elastic memory foam conforms to the user’s body for comfort and final pressure management, assisting with user positioning.
For enhanced skin protection, the cover features a fluid-proof stretch top designed to reduce shear and friction.
