Product Overview
The Equagel pressure cushions have application as prevention and treatment aids as part of an overall wound treatment and pressure management strategy. We always recommend getting in touch with us to ensure this cushion is the best for your individual clinical needs. EquaGel is a dry-polymer gel, almost rubbery to the touch. It has tensile and compression strength and incredible durability. The key feature is column buckling, which refers to the way EquaGel behaves under load. Each wall of gel can support only a light load. Each cushion also utilizes a two-stage buckling approach. The top of the cushion as a small grid of gel that is extra sensitive of pressure needs, it is the comfort layer. This top layer buckles easily and allows the parts of a user that need support to sink into the lower layer, the support layer, while holding the rest of the user up in good posture. When that threshold is exceeded, the wall of gel buckles into the hollow area between walls and passes the weight to the surrounding walls for support. This "buckling and weight -passing" happens instantly and repeatedly until the maximum surface area of pressing weight is evenly supported by largely equalized pressure, hence the name, EquaPressure.
