1 Application and Description
The Cloud wheelchair seat cushion has been exclusively provided for dekubitus prophylaxis
and -therapy when used in a wheelchair.
The Cloud cushion can be adjusted to the individual needs of the user.
Cloud consists of the cover ➀, Floam side cells ➁, individual Floam cells ➂and foam
basis ➃.
Sizes
Blue Floam cell: small
Black Floam cell: medium
Red Floam cell: large
The use of the new polymeric gel Floam treads new paths for pressure sore prophylaxis.
With the filling material Floam the pressure can be transferred effectively to areas at low risk.
Specialist staff can adjust the cushion to the individual needs of the user exchanging
individual Floam cells and using another size.
Cel-Pak
The inner cover (Cel-Pak) holds the Floam side cells in position and contains the foam basis.
If needed every individual Floam cell can be exchanged or replaced by specialist staff after
removing the foam basis at the underside of the cushion.
2 Tips for your safety
Never allow sharp objects to come into contact with the cushion surface.
Do not expose cushion to prolonged temperatures above 55 °C.
If the cushion is left in subfreezing temperatures for prolonged periods of time, check the feel
of the cells. If hardened, manipulate the cells with the hands until they loosen up.
Place the cushion on the chair with the "back" label (located on the underside of the
cushion) towards the back of the wheelchair. Using the square Velcro band attached to the
bottom of the cushion you can easily fix the latter.
3 Maintenance and operational check
Daily:
"Pluff" the Cloud. This is done by pushing the Floam cells from the sides toward the center of
the cushion with the protective cover in place. Since Floam does not flow under its own
weight, this will help insure that the maximum amount of Floam will always be under the user.
Cover
1. To clean, turn cover inside-out.
2. Machine wash on gentle cycle at 30 °C using a mild environmentally friendly detergent.
Do not bleach.
3. Machine dry on gentle cycle. Do not use excessive heat.
In most cases cleaning the cover is sufficient. Only seldom may it be necessary to clean the
cells. If so please note the following:
Floam Cells
The Floam Cell bladder is made from a two ply polyurethane film, Hand rinse or wash using
a non-alcohol based disinfectant or detergent. Hand dry or allow to air dry at room
temperature.
