Consisting of two soft layers of flexible, Stimulite honeycomb fused to the back of a robust bottom layer, the high-performance Stimulite Bariatric cushion provides maximum pressure relief, stability and ventilation.

Weighing only 7-8 pounds, the 3-inch thick Bariatric cushion accommodates weights up to 650 pounds. An optional incontinence pad fits between the cushion’s top and bottom layer. Machine washable.

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.
