Midlands Community Equipment Service Stores faced rising costs and complexity sourcing pressure care cushions from multiple suppliers. To tackle this, we proposed trials of the Equazone Air Cushion, a single designed to prevent pressure sores in patients with limited mobility.💙

✅Trials with district nurses and collaboration with the contract facilitator ensured the cushion met local needs
✅Tissue Viability Specialists recognised it’s versatility, replacing the need for four different cushions
✅The cushion’s flexibility, performance and price stood out, leading to a major shift in procurement

The results?
💡Reduced costs, storage needs and time spent sourcing
💡 Improved consistency in quality and patient care
💡 Recyclable design supports sustainability goals

This streamlined approach benefits both the organisation and end users, making pressure care more efficient, reliable and future ready.

Individuals with neurological conditions may struggle to change position independently, leading to prolonged periods in fixed postures. This can cause musculoskeletal changes, habitual postures and alterations in body shape, including soft tissue shortening, ligament strain and gravity-related problems.

Prolonged asymmetry can result in serious issues like:
✅Tissue damage
✅Contractures
✅Pressure injuries
✅Muscle imbalances
✅Chronic pain
✅Reduced quality of life

These are often preventable with proper intervention.

A comprehensive 24-hour posture and activity management approach is essential to mitigate these risks, support body structure and enhance overall well-being!👏
