UpEasy Seat Assist Bariatric Cushion for Elderly Patients

People with mobility issues can struggle to get out of their seat, and this problem is significantly worse if people are heavier than average. However, the UpEasy Seat Assist Bariatric Cushion for Elderly Patients is designed for patients of up to 154kg, providing support to those who are heavier and therefore need more propulsion when standing up out of their chairs. With afire retardant, waterproof cover for hygiene, this cushion allows patients to retain their independence, while saving carers from having to manually lift patients all the time, helping them to stay proactive at work.
