Main causes of Dekubitus: Intrinsic factors: - Medication - Nutrition - Immobility - Senility - Continence - Weight Extrinsic factors: - Pressure - Shear forces - Temperature, increased moisture Medical Background

Pressure distribution: Perfect pressure distribution is of utmost importance. With the all new A.L.F. (Amovida Light Fluid), Amovida has developed a lightweight fluid gel which provides optimized dispersion of weight and pressure. The foam base and the A.L.F. pad form the perfect material combination for achieving the highest level of seating stability. Function
7
Classification of the pressure dispersion: The pressure dispersion is measured with a special sensor matt. The measured values are compared with a standard reference cushion (6cm thick foam cushion). The relative pressure dispersion is calculated from the two pressure peaks. H High pressure dispersion Pressure dispersion: 20% and above D avarage pressure dispersion Pressure dispersion:10% to 20% G low pressure dispersion Pressure dispersion:0% to 10% K No pressure dispersion Pressure dispersion:Below 0% Pressure dispersion classification Germany Function

Amovida cushions are tested by the Technical University Munich Measurements are done with an anatomical seating dummy Measurements are compared to a standard reference foam Function Reference foam: Material: Polyurethane foam Geometry (l x b x h): 45cm x 45cm x 6cm Bulk density: 30 ± 2 kg/m³ (ISO 2439:2001-02) Compression hardness: 4,8 ± 0,3 kPa (DIN 53577)

Ventilation: The seat’s surface contain a layer of 7mm thick 3D air mesh guaranteeing a high level of air circulation to help regulate temperature and moisture. The air mesh itself also aids in the distribution of pressure. Function
12
Shock absorption: The foam of the Amovida cushion absorbs shocks and vibrations from the ground and the wheelchair, protecting the user’s back and spine. Function
13
Easy to use: The Amovida wheelchair cushions are simple to use. There are no special adjustments needed and the cushion can be put into use right away. With the handle located on the front edge the cushion is particularly ergonomic to handle and carry. The cushion cover is also machine- washable up to 60°C. Function
14
Temperature regulation: The Motion Comfort+ model features a temperature controlling silicon material. This phase change material (PCM) was originally developed for NASA to protect astronauts against temperature fluctuations in space. The PCM regulates the temperature to a defined comfort value. It stores energy when the temperature rises (cooling effect) and only releases it when the temperature is falls (warming effect), resulting in an optimal and reliable skin climate. Function

Amovida Adjuster Pads For use with Amovida Motion and Motion Comfort+ Customization of the cushions to specific individual needs 4 additional fluid pads filled with the same ALF (Amovida Light Fluid) as cushion inlay. 4 different adjustments. With the adjuster pads the fluid material of the cushion can be changed up to 27% (4 pads used with size XS) and 17% (4 pads used with size L). Product Accessories
21
Placement and Function 1.Placement in the back: prevents the hip rolling backwards more upright position of the spine 2.Placement in all four edges: adds the most material to enlarge the contour depth for extremely exposed ischial tuberosities. 12 Product Accessories
22
Placement and Function 3. Placement on the left side: for example in case of left sided (scoliotic) problems with the spine. 4. Placement on the right side: for example in case of right sided (scoliotic) problems with the spine. 34 Product Accessories
