SofTech Cushion
SofTech is a custom-fabricated, alternating cushion system built to help treat existing pressure injuries and prevent new injuries. The SofTech automatically changes pressure distribution 60 times per hour. This auto- matic action provides pressure relief that
is essential for the prevention of pressure injuries. User-specific specifications enable offloading under existing pressure injuries to allow healing. An optional integrated fan cools and dries the skin to assist healing. All system components are integrated into the cushion base so there is no separate control box to mount. There are three firmness selections, based on the client’s weight.
