medical cushioning

Medical cushioning refers to specialized materials or devices designed to provide support, reduce pressure, and prevent injury in medical settings. These cushions are used to protect vulnerable areas of the body, such as bony prominences, during prolonged periods of sitting or lying down. They help improve comfort, promote proper posture, and prevent issues like pressure ulcers or skin breakdown. Common materials include foam, gel, or air pockets, which distribute weight evenly and absorb impact. Medical cushioning is essential in hospitals, for wheelchair users, and for individuals with mobility challenges to enhance safety and comfort.
