Designed for people who are at high risk for pressure sores, the Stimulite Classic cushion provides excellent pressure relief, unsurpassed comfort and exceptional stability.
Weighing only 3 pounds, three layers of Stimulite honeycomb — each a different firmness — enable bony protuberances to sink freely into the 2.75" thick, ventilated cushion while supporting the surrounding anatomy. Firmer honeycomb functions as internal side bolsters for greater lateral support. Machine washable, dryer safe.
MACERATION RESISTANCE
Skin maceration is softening of the skin as a result of continual exposure to heat and bodily fluids or moisture. Severely softened or macerated skin is less tolerant of pressure and can lead to breakdown. Stimulite® honeycomb is perforated, enabling air to circulate and moisture to evaporate which helps maintain skin integrity.
The “footprint” of the honeycomb cells and their flexing action stimulates blood flow to enhance circulation.
PRESSURE RELIEF PLUS POSITIONING
Stimulite honeycomb relieves pressure by distributing it away from hot spots.
As a result, bony protuberances “feel” the same pressure as the surrounding anatomy. The honeycomb cells conform to body shape, and distribute weight uniformly. Additionally, Stimulite honeycomb stabilizes any position due to the axial buttressing of the honeycomb cell walls perpendicular to the anatomy.
SHEAR FORCE REDUCTION
The horizontal stiffness of a material determines both its shear resistance and stability. Too much stiffness increases shear forces, while too little decreases stability. Stimulite honeycomb minimizes shearing without sacrificing stability.
The honeycomb cells align themselves axially to the body, flex with movement to reduce shear forces against the skin and then instantaneously resume their original shape.
CLASSIC XS OPTION
The Stimulite Classic cushion has an optional Classic XS cushion feature with a soft top layer of specially engineered Stimulite honeycomb fused to two bottom layers. This softer layer on the Classic XS cushion is the choice for individuals with sensitive skin.
