🔵 Clinically Proven Pressure Relief with the Equazone Cushion by Helping Hand 🔵

When it comes to pressure care, effective prevention and early intervention are critical — and that’s exactly where the Equazone cushion excels.

Designed by Helping Hand , the Equazone is a dynamic, self-inflating cushion that combines clinical performance with practical simplicity, offering key benefits for both patients and professionals.

💡 Here’s what makes it clinically outstanding:

🩺 1. Superior Pressure Redistribution
Equazone uses a clever combination of high-density foam and a reactive air system that automatically adjusts to the user’s weight and position. This ensures even pressure distribution, helping to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers, particularly in high-risk areas such as the sacrum and ischial tuberosities.

🧠 2. No Manual Inflation or Maintenance
Unlike traditional air cushions, Equazone requires no pumps or daily adjustment. The self-regulating system ensures optimal internal pressure every time the user transfers, which reduces the chance of user error and ensures consistent protection.

🔄 3. Ideal for Dynamic Seating Needs
Whether the individual is highly active or spends extended periods seated, Equazone adapts in real time to movement and posture changes — offering reliable protection in community, residential, and hospital settings.

📈 4. Clinically Validated
Clinical evaluations have shown that the Equazone significantly reduces interface pressures across critical zones, making it suitable for individuals at medium to high risk of pressure injury. It supports clinical decision-making with evidence-based results.

👩‍⚕️ 5. Designed with Carers in Mind
Lightweight, easy to clean, and robust, it’s a practical solution that fits seamlessly into any pressure care protocol — especially when managing large caseloads or complex needs.

At a time when pressure injury prevention is more important than ever, the Equazone provides a trusted, easy-to-use solution backed by clinical insight.

🛋️ Empower your pressure care strategy — the right cushion can make all the difference.

Transforming pressure care with one smart solution 💙

Faced with rising costs and operational inefficiencies in pressure care provision, Leicester Community Equipment Service partnered with The Helping Hand Company to explore a more sustainable and streamlined approach.

The Challenge:
👉Pressure care cushions are essential for preventing pressure sores, but managing multiple suppliers and cushion types was inefficient and costly.

The solution:
👉Through trials with district nurses and tissues viability specialists, the Equazone cushion could meet all pressure care needs in one product.

Offering:
✅Superb stability with no maintenance
✅High recyclability (8.8 out of 10 cushions reissued)
✅A weight limit of 154kg, suitable for all risk categories
✅Easy-to-clean design for hygiene and reuse.

The results:
✅Reduced cushion types from 5 to 1
✅Cut annual cushion orders from 3,500 to 1,500
✅Lowered costs, simplified logistics and improved sustainability
✅Boosted staff confidence with consistent, high-quality equipment

‘‘We aimed for performance levels other couldn’t match – and we succeeded’’ – Mitch Preedy, Pressure Care Commercial Manager 👀

This is how innovation in healthcare equipment can drive better outcomes for both providers and patients.👏

Celebrating Our Wins!

There are many exciting successes across The Helping Hand Company right now, and we couldn’t have done it without our dedicated team!
