Intelligent Air Cushion - Vapour Flow
The Intelligent Air cushion by Direct Healthcare sets a brand new standard in innovative wheelchair seating, delivering superior ‘bespoke’ pressure redistribution without the need for any set up or re-pumping air lost over time.
Demonstrating more effective pressure redistribution than the market leading wheelchair cushion, Intelligent Air incorporates Reactive Airflow technology, a system of air and foam-filled cells with a patented valve system designed to displace and adjust air in response to user body weight and movement.
Intelligent Air automatically adjusts to each user so is also ideal for use in multi-user care environments such as nursing homes or hospital wards. Intelligent Air is incredibly lightweight and features a specialist pressure redistributing castellated-cut and contoured user interface for effective postural support. The unique ‘layer of air over foam’ design not only maximises patient comfort but also ensures effective impact damping to reduce unnecessary spinal stress and patient egress assistance.
This version of the Cushion Intelligent has a vapour flow cover which is ideal for use on cushions as the cover is more breathable (has a 50% MVTR (moisture vapour transfer rate) as opposed to the 9-12% of the dartex. The higher MVTR of the vapour flow is beneficial in the prevention of bed sores etc. as it reduce ‘shearing’. The breathability does not compromise the waterproofing of the cushion.
