Foam Applications for Avoiding Pressure Ulcers

While comfort is an important consideration in healthcare applications of foam, like wheelchair seats, it is often not the most critical consideration. Comfort is created by weight distribution and resilience. When optimized, these factors also ensure that pressure ulcers do not form over periods of extended use, where users are often unable to change their position. 

This high degree of weight distribution is accomplished through the application of multiple types, firmness layers, and contours of foams combined to make a composite seating surface.
