We unicare about your experience with us today
Pressure care refers to products and strategies that help prevent or treat pressure injuries by reducing pressure, shear, and friction on the skin. It's essential for clients with limited mobility or who spend extended periods in bed or seated.
Our pressure care range includes cushions, mattress overlays, alternating air mattresses, hybrid systems, and positioning supports, suitable for use on beds, wheelchairs, and seating to protect vulnerable areas.
Pressure care products are commonly used for clients with impaired mobility, those recovering from surgery, or individuals with conditions that place them at higher risk of skin breakdown.
Pressure care cushions are designed to redistribute weight and reduce pressure on high-risk areas such as the ischial tuberosities or the sacrum. They offer clinical support beyond basic comfort, often incorporating gel, air, or viscoelastic foams.
