Medical Airing cushion

An Airing Cushion, often referred to as an Air Cushion or Air Cell Cushion, is a specialized seating support designed to improve comfort, prevent pressure sores, and enhance posture for individuals who spend extended periods sitting, such as wheelchair users or office workers. These cushions use air-filled cells or chambers to distribute body weight evenly, reducing pressure on sensitive areas and promoting better blood circulation.

Key Features for Medical Airing Cushions:

1. Pressure Relief: Designed to minimize pressure on the tailbone, hips, and lower back, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers.

2. Adjustable Support: Many models allow for air pressure adjustment, providing customizable support based on the user’s weight and comfort preferences.

3. Lightweight and Portable: Typically made from lightweight, durable materials, making them easy to transport and use across different settings.

4. Breathability and Airflow: Air cells enhance ventilation, reducing heat and moisture buildup, which can be critical for long-term comfort.

5. Durable and Easy to Clean: Often constructed from medical-grade, puncture-resistant materials like PVC, TPU, or neoprene, with removable covers for easy washing.

• Wheelchair users to reduce skin breakdown.

• Office workers to improve posture and comfort.

2. Multi-Chamber Cushions: Offer more targeted support with independent air cells.
