The Staebel Relax GelCell Cushion is a unique combination of AIR and GEL technology, enabling personalised pressure redistribution and comfort to the very high-risk user. The Gelcell consists of 34 interconnected air-filled cells, each covered with a top layer of pressure-relieving silicone-based TruGel.
The immersion by use of air as the medium in the cushion maintains capillary function in the tissue, ensuring blood flow and oxygen uptake. When pressure is applied, air circulates to each of the cells, distributing weight evenly, thus reducing high-pressure concentrations around bony prominences. The GelCell has a positive effect on temperature management due to the interconnected air cell design, permitting air circulation across the cushion.
