Description
This anti-bedsore cushion is used in the anti-bedsore prophylaxis and treatment of the existing bedsores as well as in post-operative and post-traumatic conditions. When used on the seat of a stroller or a car, it protects the user against the bedsores in the area of the ischial tubers and provides an adequate distribution of body weight. The inner hole in the cushion effectively relieves the sensitive points of the user’s body, which are properly nourished and supplied with blood when not having a direct contact with the seat. In order to maintain a proper hygiene of the product, it is recommended to use an additional terry cover.

Maintenance
PureMed™ meets all the essential requirements of the medical products of different kinds, according to the Regulation of the Ministers of Health on 3 November 2004 and the requirements contained in Annex I to Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices , deployed by the law of 30 April 2004 of Medical Devices (OJ L 93 of 2004., pos. 896). It is a flexible fabric which is safe for people. It is antibacterial, waterproof, vapour permeable and easy to disinfect.PureMed™ should be cleaned according to the laundry guide. Coated materials should be cleaned with the use of neutral pH soap solution (about 7) applied with a soft sponge or a damp cloth. Rub gently and wipe dry to remove the rest of the detergent. In order to keep the original colour and shine level, the procedure should be repeated every month.
Stains should come out if you use 25% solution of ethanol. Rub gently and wipe dry to remove the rest of the detergent.
Please, bear in mind that some stains might not be completely removed from the cleaned surface. It depends on several factors like active dyers permanently migrating to the material surface, the material composition and finish, or chemical composition of dirt as well as the time the soiling has remained on the material surface.
You should pay particular attention to the generally available domestic cleansers whose components might react with the soiling and cause an effect contrary to what was originally intended.
Remember that PureMed™ should never be cleaned with domestic cleansers and cleaning agents that are generally recommended for ‘eco-leather’.
