Introducing EXGEL

EXGEL_Hand.jpg The secret of EXGEL is its softness which gives it the flexibility to distribute pressure, elasticity to absorb shock and fluidity that goes hand-in-hand with movement.

The EXGEL Deep Countour Slim Owl Cushion was developed as an ultimately soft and stable cushion, with high levels of immersion and greater contact area to distribute pressure forces whilst being low profile, allowing optimal floor to seat height.

Its pre-contoured base provides pelvic stability and optimal leg positioning, whilst the EVA foam abductor/pommel can be cut or glued to change height. It has wedge shaped pads which enhance the pre-ischial contour and can be easily attached/detached with Velcro to the base. The cushion has a wipeable surface for easy cleaning

 

Glidewear

GlideWear Mens and Womens Skin Protection Shorts use a patented, dual-layer fabric technology to protect skin and reduce the friction and shear that cause pressure sores. Seams are very flat and strategically placed away from high-risk areas. The result is a comfortable, breathable pair of shorts that protects you from the friction and shear that redness, pressure sores, and skin breakdown.

The Small Item Gripping Aid is a new and exciting gripping aid from Active Hands. This aid allows you to hold small diameter items such as make-up, bathroom, art and office products. A two-part system, consisting of a neoprene glove and a velcro-on palm pad, allows you to swap between palm pads quickly. The Small Item Gripping Aid comes with one glove component and two palm pads. Additional palm pads are available as extras. Why not have a set in the bathroom with razor, toothbrush and hairbrush? Or a set for you make-up brushes? Or load up different brushes ready for painting?
