In the end, I sent it back and purchased the 18x30, which fitted perfectly in both her recliner and mine. She has a transport chair that is not as large -Five feet and four inches is how wide it is.

Selected User Reviews For Apex Medical Sedens 500- Alternating Pressure Seat Cushion with Portable Pump – Lower Back & Butt Pain Relief- Fits Wheelchair, Office Chair, Driver Seat - Battery Embedded (17" x 17")
As he was unable to get up and move, I purchased this product for my late grandpa to use in the last few weeks of his life in order to prevent pressure sores. By using this cushion, he was able to relieve pressure on his bottom and his pressure sores were healing. What a relief to know we were able to relieve some of the pain for he! With this cushion, you can run it on battery power or plugged in.
He has several pressure sores near his tailbone and he tried several foam/gel/water bladder pads found on Amazon but it did not do any good. A recent pressure ulcer resulting from one of the most expensive medical devices appeared after only using it for a day. The device actually combined these various forms of support. My father's wound care center recommended that we use a low loss alternating pressure mattress for his bed to relieve the pressure on his sores. In my search for a mattress, I ran across this company and saw that they also offer alternating pressure seat cushions with portable pumps. It works similarly to the mattress, by alternating pressure between four air cells in order to prevent sores from forming and to heal any that might already exist. If you need to reposition the patient, there is also a static mode. A useful feature of the portable pump is the ability to adjust duration and level of firmness. In the control unit pump, the battery is supposed to last 12 hours, but I haven't tested it yet. Due to his disability, my father is confined to a wheelchair Since it is bound at home, we keep it plugged in so the battery does not drain. It is necessary to move the wheelchair when needed To use the bathroom), we unplug it and run it for a few minutes on battery. There is no problem with the cushion and the control unit A special note of admiration goes to the design and the quality of the materials It is made of good quality materials. Pricey, but anyone who has dealt with pressure sores knows just how difficult it can be to heal. I believe this is the only product that will give my father the support he needs, and it is one of the few being offered Likewise, their low air loss alternating pressure bed mattress (which we bought) is very comfortable considering how thin it is. The design is well-thought-out and well-designed As a result, I highly recommend this company for caregivers seeking mattresses and cushions for loved ones suffering from pressure ulcers.
My husband suffers from ALS and is wheelchair-bound, so it was perfectly fitted to his backside. However, the size was not quite right, so I would recommend a little longer cushion.
There is a need for a longer cushion, but the biggest issue is the front part of the cushion, which is a It helps some to place a foam pillow under his legs so that the pressure is taken off. part of his back where air is pumped through does make a big difference when it comes to pressure points. It would be nice if it was longer in front and if the foam was softer instead of so hard.
I also wish there was a way to contact the.
Although the product was not purchased for me, I asked the person who is currently using it what he/she thought about the product. An extremely positive review was given by this person who is in a wheelchair and the seat cushion is working as it should. Having to sit in a wheelchair for the entire day has taken a lot of pressure off my back.
My friend was diagnosed about a year ago with Lou Greigs's Disease, or ALS. I bought the device for her. It was starting to get red pressure points on his buttocks. There's no question that the cushion has been a game changer for me. Setting the comfort level up to five and the cycle cycle to 10 minutes is the standard. In addition to the pressure points, there are no longer any pustules. reports no complaints and that it is very comfortable even though he is up for almost nine hours a.
My mother's ability to walk has been impaired by a recent illness, so I purchased the cushion to help her. Every day, she spends a fair amount of time in a chair, either folding or reclining The disabled person sleeps in an appropriate sleeping lift chair. After her hospital bed sores healed (together with more thorough care at home), she used it for pain relief. You can see a big difference in the air pressure at the intervals you set. Aside from being extremely easy to use, it is also very cost-effective. The hoses can be connected and the pump can be started It must be plugged into a power source. As of yet, I have not needed to wash the cushion because I cover it with a chair protector pad. The rubbery cover makes it easy to wipe clean, but it is protected by a plastic type of protector. The book is highly recommended for anyone suffering from chronic mobility issues or who has a family member who needs help moving.
He passed from COVID before he could use it, so it was bought for him. One of our friends had it and raved about how amazing it was.
