Salisbury Range


Cushion Brochure
Datasheet (currently unavailable)

The Salisbury range of cushions has been designed in conjunction with the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at Salisbury District Hospital, and encourages a more upright posture and prevents sacral sitting. The range offers the choice of combustion modified high resilient foam, silicon gel and visco elastic options. Each cushion in the range is specifically designed to provide pressure reduction.
	Zipped closure on three sides enables examination of the interior or cover removal for laundering. The zip is covered with a deep flap to aid prevention of fluid ingress.
	A two-way stretch vapour permeable cover is vital to improve pressure reduction as the ‘give’ in the fabric complements the foams beneath.
	As the contouring of the foam inner promotes better posture, the anti-slip base prevents cushion movement within the seat increasing user stability and safety.
	The inherent contouring of the foam interior pushes the patient back into the seat, reducing the ‘slump’ effect and improving the general posture of the user.
	Other sizes can be made to order and modified designs can be catered for. Please contact us for further details.


	Salisbury Odstock A combustion modified high resilient foam cushion based on the original design by the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at Salisbury District Hospital. The contoured base is wrapped in a soft superior quality foam providing support, posture control and enhanced pressure distribution.
	Salisbury Farley Gel The Salisbury Farley Gel is designed to provide excellent pressure reduction for the ischial tuberosities. The cushion has a gel sac incorporated into the rear of the CMHR foam casing.
	Salisbury Wilton Visco The Salisbury Wilton Visco is a contoured cushion system complemented by a heat sensitive visco elastic foam upper surface, which moulds to the shape of the user.
	The anatomy of posture Professor Ian Swain BSc PhD CEng FIEE FIPEM Poor posture such as that seen when someone is slumped or sacral sitting can be a cause a pain and disability. Correct positioning of the body reduces the strain on the muscles, ligaments, bones and joints. Other sizes can be made to order and modified designs can be catered for. Please contact us for further details. Internally, the organs and the blood vessels are not compressed, breathing and lung function can be improved. Functions such as self propulsion of a wheelchair are also enhanced. In addition to the increased comfort, shear forces caused by continually sliding into a sacral sitting position will be reduced and will help in pressure sore prevention.A superior performance cushion ideal for wheelchair users, the Prima 4 has a profiled upper surface with a ‘waffle’ core design for greater distribution of pressure on the perineal and ischial tuberosities. A heavy duty version is also available.
