Where a lower profile Vicair cushion is being used by a client with incontinence, this cover keeps fluid out of the cell compartments. The material is elastic and fluid resistant, so moisture sits on the surface and wipes away.
It handles heavy cleaning. The cover washes in a machine and can also be wiped down with a hygienic cloth on the spot, which suits ward and facility use where a cushion has to be ready again quickly.
It has uses beyond continence as well. Clients heading to the pool or the beach can sit on it straight out of the water and swap back to their usual cover afterwards with a dry cushion still underneath.
