The Span-America Isch-Dish seat cushion is the most direct seating solution for those with, or at high risk for, pressure sores at the ischium or coccyx. It promotes healthful, upright posture by controlling pelvic tilt. It also reduces "sacral sitting" that can cause breakdown.
With the unique patented, fit-to-the-user, open pocket design, pressure is eliminated at the ulcer site. The open pocket allows for ventilation of heat and moisture, an important complement to any wound treatment or for long term prevention for sores.
The pocket is available in small, medium or large sizes based upon measurements of the ischial span. This individual measurement creates an empty space at the rear of the cushion for the ischials to float, therefore eliminating pressure. The cushion itself is surrounded Durafilm, a waterproof coating.
