When many people hear anti-decubitus cushions and mattresses, the first thing they think of is inflatable anti-decubitus cushions, but now few people know about gel cushions. So what is a gel pad, what are its special features and benefits?
First of all, let’s introduce gel. Gel is a kind of polymer material with high reliability. It has good compatibility with human tissues and is biologically inert. It is known as “human skin”. It has high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, hydrophobicity, softness, permeability, aging resistance, high transparency, X-ray penetration, easy cleaning, and convenient disinfection. It does not support bacterial growth itself, non-toxic, odorless, A series of excellent properties such as non-carcinogenic.
Its elasticity is 5-10 times higher than that of polyurethane foam pads, and it slowly recovers in a ternary state, which greatly reduces the pressure on the body, has excellent shock absorption, has good body weight partial pressure capacity, and can Distribute pressure evenly throughout the gel pad. It has excellent softness, support and shock absorption and compression resistance.
The gel also has the property of quickly dispersing the heat of the human body, keeping it at a constant temperature, and helping to reduce the temperature of the skin surface, thereby effectively preventing the discomfort caused by heat accumulation such as bedsores.
The gel pad is a pad made of pure silicone gel filled into the environmentally friendly TPU film.
Classification and different uses of gel pads: different shapes have different uses, such as on the operating bed, can be divided into round, concave, flat, etc., used for feet, head, neck, buttocks Disperse the pressure on different parts of the human body, so that the human body can reach the most comfortable state to the greatest extent. Today’s focus is on the gel flat pad, which is not only used for operating beds, but also used in baby incubators, elderly disabled cars, ordinary beds, office chairs and so on.
Special features and benefits of gel pads:
1. Imported environmentally friendly materials (materials include SILICA, GEL), natural, environmentally friendly, non-polluting, non-toxic, anti-allergic.
2. It has good softness and comfort, good resilience, and it is soft and does not touch the bottom, which can well buffer and disperse human pressure. The surface is smooth and has excellent compatibility and affinity with the skin.
3. The constant temperature gel sheet has a unique constant humidity body, which can effectively maintain the constant temperature effect, warm in winter and cool in summer.
4. The gel has the characteristics of antibacterial, anti-mite, durable, anti-compression, no hardening, no aging, no rupture, no plasticizer, no skin irritation and high viscoelasticity, durable and never deformed.
5. Accidentally cut or punctured, the gel will not leak.
6. The surface film is waterproof, anti-fouling and easy to clean.
7. X-Ray light penetration has no effect.
