Pressure mapping gives an exact
visual representation of the
degree of pressure relief
achieved by a particular
cushion. If the interface
pressure is low enough, the skin
and tissue will receive adequate
blood flow and pressure sores
can be avoided. If the pressure
is too high, even for a very
short period of time per the
Kosiac study, you are at risk of
developing a sore.
The degree of pressure needed to
achieve true pressure relief is
30 mmHg. A pressure less than 30
is even better. We let the
pressure maps speak for
themselves.
These are pressure maps taken
while patients were sitting on
the Airpulse PK.
If you are not
familiar with pressure mapping
please consult your doctor or
physical therapist to take a
look at this page and offer
their opinion.
