If limited in mobility, long periods sat can at least cause discomfort, at worst lead to pressure sores, muscle atrophy, weight gain.
Yet simple prescription of an infinitely variable, vacuum posture cushion- our Comfortable Plus Duo- can easily eliminate discomfort in almost every seated activity at home. It even supports in the bath(1)!
Comfortable Plus Duo can open the door to trying a raft of activities- aquatherapy, sailing, canoeing, swinging, zip lining, ski-boarding, sand buggying, sledging to name a few.
It can shape to fit seats on your travels- whether car, plane, boat.
Essentially a bean bag that can be fixed into shape to support and stabilise the head and torso without pressure points, Comfortable Plus Duo effectively reduces the risk of pressure sores.
Once moulded to the contours required, extract the air inside via pump to fix the “beans” into shape.
The process means it can be quickly and easily adjusted, at home by a trained carer, to accommodate finite adjustments to comfort. It can be done whether needed- on a daily, weekly or monthly basis- or longer!
Comfortable Duo Plus can be similarly moulded to provide the required stabilisation to hips and pelvis. It even allows formation of a pommel.
Made from an advanced neoprene material, Comfortable Plus Duo is waterproof and can be wiped clean to address spills or maintain hygiene.
Importantly, it is also breathable, so no over-heating, sweaty patches if sat for a while in one position.
“Comfortable Plus Duo is a revolution in postural support systems,” says Peter Wingrave, AAT GB Director.
“Anyone who cares for or works with children and adults with physical limitations knows that what suits in terms of positioning one day may not work the next.
"The infinite, at home variability of Comfortable Plus Duo and its flexibility in accommodating almost every seated environment make it an appropriate, reasonable proposition for any healthcare professional needing postural seating for clients with physical or mental disabilities, for any activity.
“The fact it has infinite seating support uses beyond purely sitting at home is an added bonus: it enables wider participation in life and extends a client’s scope of experiences, helping their overall health and wellbeing.”
AAT’s nationwide team of sales managers are trained to support healthcare professionals in undertaking postural assessments, free of charge and with no obligation.
As part of the purchase process AAT will train care-givers in appropriate adjustment of Comfortable Plus Duo.
As the system can be wiped clean, it can be taken into equipment stores if/when no longer needed, and re-issued.
This delivers further positive amortisation and optimisation of care budgets.
