Usage tips:

• Bedsores prevention consists in changing the support points of body on the cushion every three hours on average to avoid long-lasting compression of vessels and to allow blood flow. Do not tight the sheets too much in order to not decrease the cushion effectiveness.
• Do not place abrasive, stripper or dissolving products and sharp objects in direct contact with the protection cover.
• Check the cushions once or several times a year. In case of problems, dispose the product.
