Important Information
The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to understand their
causes and your role in a skin management program.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have questions regarding
individual limitations and needs.
All seats should be selected carefully. Working with your therapist, and physician
is the best way to assure that a seat choice matches your individual needs.
As the needs of the individual become more complex, the seat evaluation becomes
more important.
Introduction
The Flovair seat is designed to provide pelvic stability, leg positioning and
pressure management for patients with postural asymmetry and skin integrity
concerns. The Flovair seat is available in two different contours to suit the amount
of positioning required by the user.
Outer/Inner Covers
The outer cover is made from a water repellent fabric to protect the foam. The top
is fabricated with a patented waterproof stretch fabric. The bottom is fabricated
from a heavyweight, waterproof, non‐skid fabric.
A vapor permeable inner cover allows air circulation while providing additional
protection for the foam. Regular cleaning and inspection of the inner and outer
covers is recommended. Refer to Seat Inspection and Cleaning on page 6.
