Full Description

The ACe Complete cushion with Shear Reduction Technology by 5 Minds Mobility is a hybrid cushion for the user requiring maximum pressure redistribution, immersion and positioning. Incorporating our Patent Pending Shear Reduction Technology (SRT), it is an innovative way for two component parts of the cushion to move on each other in order to absorb shear, at the same time addressing the need for proper immersion. The Complete cushion greatly reduces sacral sitting (sliding) with its internal wedge structure. This new approach to shear reduction incorporates two layers of foam separated by a low friction material and a ROHO® insert at the sacrum. The cushion itself is designed to absorb forces that damage skin, thereby reducing the risk for skin breakdown. A third party clinical trial was completed by Durham College Department of Nursing and Department of Engineering to validate SRT. The trial provided non-biased support for the efficacy of SRT and it’s use in populations where shear forces can damage vulnerable skin
