Reflexion Seat Cushion

Vitafoam has developed the Reflexion pressure reducing seat cushion in response to growing demand for a remedy to combat problems associated with sitting for lengthy periods of time.
Circulatory pressures can cause discomfort which might lead to the formation of pressure ulcers. Refexion cushions are made from a unique combination of materials.

Reflexion comprises of two distinct layers which carry out different but equally important functions. The upper layer is Vasco, a Visco-Elastic cellular polymer which is both temperature sensitive and energy absorbing , responds to body heat and forms to the body's shape. The supporting layer of Reflex improves support and flexibility for the upper layer.

The two pressure maps below show the pressure exerted when a user sits on a conventional seat (Map 1) and when a users sits on a seat made from Reflexion (Map 2). These tests were conducted using an identical protocol. The lightest pressures are shown in blue, whilst the heaviest pressures are shown in yellow and amber. As pressure increases sitting becomes uncomfortable and heavy pressure over sustained periods can cause circulatory problems leading to the development of pressure sores.

Pressure map 1, Conventional seat	Pressure map 2, Reflexion seat
This pressure map shows the pressure distribution on an ordinary office chair. Areas in amber and yellow indicate high pressure and potential problems for the users.	Compared to the equilalent conventional seat, Reflexion reduces pressure substantially. This makes a real difference for the user in terms of comfort, improved posture and consistent high performance over long periods.

Platinum Covers with Anti-Bacterial Protection

Each cushion is protected by a Platinum coloured waterproof and vapour permeable material which is high frequency welded to prevent fluid ingress. The two-way stretch fabric has an integral anti-bacterial agent for extra hygiene and a wide flap to protect the zip area from fluid spills.

Reflexion cushions are particularly suitable for use with wheelchairs and are available with a range of fillings to provide three levels of protection and support from Standard to Contour and Contour plus Gel. All three are available in a removeable waterproof or soft touch fabric cover.
