Patients that suffer from poor blood flow to the arms and legs can develop ischemic ulcers easily. Ischemic ulcers are wounds that are dark red, yellow, grey, or black sores with raised edges around the wound.
They occur when inadequate blood flow results in cell death and damage to the surrounding tissue. Ischemic ulcers are typically found in the elbow, feet, and around the heels, ankles, and toes. They can be painful and uncomfortable.
People who have ischemic ulcers in the feet often experience night pains and difficulty sleeping because of the pain and discomfort.
The static Air Flotation Cushion from Roho is a product specially designed for patients suffering from existing ischemic ulcers, or who are at a high risk of skin breakdown.
It is a lightweight, portable cushion that does not require power while delivering a high level of pressure care and comfort.
