Sitzkissen zur Dekubitus ProphylaxeSeat cushion for decubitus prophylaxis

Bisher verwendete Sitzkissen bestehen entweder aus Schaumstoff oder sie werden passiv oder aktiv luftinsouffliert, wobei die Luftzellen nur in einer Ebene angeordnet sind. Der Sitzkomfort derartiger Kissen ist nicht optimal, da über den Sitzbeinhöckern hohe Drücke entstehen können.Seat cushions used to date are either made of foam or are passively or actively inflated with air, with the air cells only arranged in one plane. The seating comfort of such cushions is not optimal, as high pressures can build up above the ischial tuberosities.

Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, ein Sitzkissen zu schaffen, in welchem gleichmäßig die Auflagedrücke verteilt sind, derart, daß die Sitzbeinhöcker für den Patienten nicht im bisher dagewesenen Maße spürbar sind.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a seat cushion in which the contact pressures are evenly distributed in such a way that the ischial tuberosities are not noticeable to the patient to the extent previously possible.

Dieses Problem wird mit den im Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst. Die Ebenen bestehen in der Horizontalen abwechselnd aus einer Luftzelle und einem viskoelastischen Schaum (Fig.l u. 3). In der Vertikalen befindet sich unter dem Schlauchsystem in der oberen Ebene eine viskoelastischer Schaumzelle in der unteren Ebene bzw. umgekehrt (Anspruch 2). Über jeder Ebene ist eine Schicht aus Silikongel angebracht (Anspruch 3, Fig.2).This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1. The levels consist of an alternating air cell and a viscoelastic foam in the horizontal plane (Fig. 1 and 3). In the vertical plane, under the hose system in the upper plane, there is a viscoelastic foam cell in the lower plane, or vice versa (claim 2). A layer of silicone gel is applied above each plane (claim 3, Fig. 2).

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß der Auflagedruck des Schlauchsystems durch den darüber bzw. darunterliegenden viskoelastischen Schaum aufgefangenThe invention ensures that the contact pressure of the hose system is absorbed by the viscoelastic foam above or below it.

wird. In Kombination mit dem Silikongel über jeder Ebene ergeben sich äußerst vorteilhafte Sitzeigenschaften hinsichtlich der Druckentlastung und der Aufrechterhaltung der Mikrozirkulation in der Haut. Alternierend werden die Schlauchsysteme mit Hilfe eines Aggregats luftin- bzw. exsouffliert, welches einen massierenden Effekt auf die dmckbelasteten Hautpartien ausübt.
Soll das Kissen passiv betrieben werden, so besteht die Möglichkeit, die Luftschläuche mittels einer Handpumpe mit Luft zu füllen. Hierbei entscheidet der Benutzer über die Festigkeit der Sitzauflage.In combination with the silicone gel above each level, extremely advantageous seating properties are achieved in terms of pressure relief and maintaining microcirculation in the skin. The tube systems are alternately filled and exsufled with air using a unit, which has a massaging effect on the pressure-loaded areas of the skin.
If the cushion is to be used passively, it is possible to fill the air tubes with air using a hand pump. The user decides on the firmness of the seat cushion.
