  EHOB, Inc (Indianapolis, IN) released the WAFFLE® Extended Care Seat Cushion, a new static-air product designed to assist in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers through Stage IV.

 Filled with air, which is the ideal medium to support and float the most vulnerable soft tissues of the body, the unique design of the WAFFLE Extended Care Seat Cushion allows the body to sink down into the product, providing protection and comfort while contouring to the body. In addition, its low-profile chamber of air aids in the redistribution of patients’ weight evenly on the surface. The Extended Care Cushion is clinically effective in keeping the patient stable and comfortable while preventing pressure ulcers.

  The new WAFFLE Cushion, which measures 19” x 19” x 2”, is designed for use in any seat specifically for individuals weighing up to 300 pounds. Complete with a 6-month warranty, the seat cushion easily accompanies patients throughout the continuum of care and is ideal for pressure ulcer prevention while at home or in a long-term care setting. The easy-to-clean cushion comes inflated and can be accompanied by an optional fluid-resistant cover.

  Skin temperature and moisture control are achieved through the WAFFLE’s diamond-patterned holes, which naturally circulate air while allowing skin to breathe. Combined with a non-abrasive, medical grade vinyl, the cushion substantially reduces pressure and tissue tear.
