The original and trusted solution for pressure care.
Propad Original is a thick castellated foam cushion that focuses on facilitating good universal pressure redistribution in both armchairs and wheelchairs. The high specification foam provides optimal immersion for daily comfort while each castellation delivers enhanced support and helps reduce shear. Keyhole-shaped cuts at the base of each castellation ensures good air circulation, reducing potential for skin maceration.
Recent tests by an independent facility: Berlin Cert, examined Propad Original for its shear and pressure relief capabilities and microclimatic characteristics. The rigorous testing confirms our commitment to clinical excellence and the favourable results prove why Propad is a trusted solution by tissue viability nurses and other specialist clinicians.
Propad Original is built on a reputation of delivering trusted care in 3 critical ways:
Pressure redistribution
Iconic foam castellations distribute weight evenly offering comfortable and effective pressure-redistribution for people at high to very high risk of developing pressure injuries.
Shear reduction
Large castellated foam cells move independently and conform to body movement, helping to reduce shear and friction when repositioning.
Microclimate management
Keyhole cut cells provide a well-aerated foam structure for optimal care and daily comfort.
