Clinical Performance
Whether a short trip from room to radiology, or a pre-op, post-op marathon, the stretcher cushion can have a huge impact on your patient’s healthcare experience.  

When compared to conventional pads, the Response Cushion better conforms to the patient's shape, weight & movements for better pressure redistribution & greater comfort.

We’ve all sat on a hard, poorly cushioned surface and after just a short time, began to shift & reposition in an effort to find comfort. However, many times patients aren't able to shift themselves.

With our Response Stretcher Cushion we’ve blended our most durable shear reducing fabric, sewn in a loose, billowy fashion and HR “High Resiliency” core materials to produce a cushion that supports the body and comfortably cushions sensitive areas.

Computerized Pressure Imaging illustrates how the Response Cushion reduces interface pressure at the areas most problematic. Even when on the cushion short-term, these reductions in localized pressure will help to prevent the discomfort and anxiety patients can experience.

Memory Foam…Don’t get the wrong Impression

Comfortex vs. Visco - Memory Foam

The German Institute of Healthcare Research studied the effect two of Europe’s leading pressure reducing mattresses would have on patients who were suffering from chronic pain.

The results were as follows:

All but 2 of the 80 patients reported a change in their level of pain & discomfort when moved from the conventional mattress. The number of patients who awoke as a result of pain was reduced by 21% on the Visco – Memory Foam mattress and reduced by a much greater 52% when on the Comfortex mattress.

The need for pain medications was not reduced for patients on the Memory Foam Mattress. However, pain medication dosages were reduced by 24% during night time hours and by 16.5% during daytime hours for patients on the Comfortex surface.

For better healthcare experiences… Comfortex responds

“Some patients are on these stretcher cushions for many hours and we are able to reduce break down substantially. We won’t buy anything else.”
