A ring cushion for clients who need the coccyx unloaded and who also need the skin around it kept dry. The open centre suspends the tailbone, and the fill is silicone coated cylindrical fibre, so the cushion breathes through its whole depth rather than trapping heat against the seat.
The silicone coating lets the fibres move against one another, which cuts the friction and shear a client meets when they shift or transfer, and it sheds moisture from perspiration or incontinence. The fibres also spring back rather than flattening out, so the ring keeps its shape over months of daily use.
It suits clients recovering from surgery, and clients managing haemorrhoids, hip bursitis or coccyx pain, and it is used routinely in geriatric and palliative settings. The cotton and polyester cover is flame retardant and machine washable.
