APEX Coccyx Gel-Foam Cushion

Recommended Uses for Apex Coccyx Gel-Foam Cushions
The Apex Coccyx Gel-Foam Cushion helps prevent coccyx area pressure ulcers. Particularly beneficial for wheelchair users who spend a large amount of time in a seated position, the cushion reduces the risk of developing pressure ulcers in patients who are unable to change positions often. These at-risk patients include those who are immobile or have spinal cord injuries. Also susceptible to pressure sores are those who have conditions that cause an inability to feel pain or discomfort, which is commonly experienced by spinal cord injury patients and those with neurological disorders. Without sensation, patients are not aware that they need to change positions. Another cause of pressure ulcers is a lack of nutrition, where patients are not receiving the proper amount of fluids, calories, protein, vitamins, and minerals in their diet. Good nutrition is necessary for maintaining healthy skin, while poor nutrition causes the breakdown of tissues. Diabetes and vascular disease patients experience improper blood flow, which contributes to tissue damage as well.
