This configuration suits a client who needs the knees held apart and who is also managing incontinence. The Pommel O2 has a detachable medial thigh support that gently separates the thighs, which keeps the perineal area accessible for hygiene and catheterisation, and it sits on an adjustable SmartCell cushion that looks after pressure redistribution.
The pommel and the cushion have separate covers, so the support can come away for a transfer or a change without pulling the whole cushion apart. Cells can be added or removed compartment by compartment as the client’s tone, shape or skin tolerance changes.
The Incotec cover supplied here is a fluid resistant elastic fabric made for incontinence and for settings where infection control is tight, and cushion and cover both wash in a machine.
