Proactive Medical Protekt Foam Geri-Chair Overlay

Protekt® Foam Geri-Chair Overlay: Static Pressure Redistribution with Advanced VGPT™ Thermal Management for Clinical Recliners

Institutional facilities, long-term care wards, and rehabilitation centers face a distinct clinical hazard when high-risk patients are transitioned from therapeutic bed systems into standard geriatric chairs or recliners. Extended sitting on non-therapeutic surfaces accelerates skin breakdown by localizing patient body weight directly onto the sacrum, coccyx, and ischial tuberosities. The Protekt® Foam Geri-Chair Overlay solves this operational vulnerability by introducing high-performance pressure redistribution and metabolic heat mitigation to standard clinical seating environments, maintaining tissue integrity without active electrical power requirements.

The interior architecture of this therapeutic overlay relies on proprietary Visco Gel Polymer Technology (VGPT™). This open-cell, gel-infused visco memory foam core functions as an efficient thermal conduit, drawing heat away from the patient's body significantly faster than standard polyurethanes to dramatically minimize perspiration and prevent moisture-induced skin maceration. For patients requiring specialized high-load skin protection, the overlay features an optional dual-chamber seat area gel bladder. This integrated bladder is engineered with a rigid center seam that eliminates gel migration, ensuring uniform fluid cushioning and continuous shear relief directly under the pelvic region.

Key Benefits:

• Visco Gel Polymer Technology (VGPT™): Advanced gel-infused foam channels metabolic heat away from the skin surface to decrease perspiration and eliminate a primary catalyst for pressure ulcer formation.
• Optional Dual-Chamber Gel Bladder: Premium seating zone configuration features an integrated gel bladder with a strict center seam to prevent material migration, optimizing continuous pelvic pressure relief.
• High-Capacity Core Scaling: Highly adaptable structural design safely accommodates patient weights ranging from 300 lbs on standard widths up to 500 lbs on bariatric profiles.
• Integrated Triple Security Straps: Outfitted with 3 heavy-duty frame safety straps combined with a non-skid vinyl bottom base to firmly lock the overlay in place and eliminate surface shifting.
• Low-Shear Fluid-Impenetrable Interface: Premium stretch nylon top cover reduces skin friction and mechanical shear forces while acting as an easily sanitized, fluid-proof barrier.
• Passive Treatment Modality: Delivers medical-grade pressure injury prevention across high-back clinical recliners without the noise, cords, or mechanical components of active air pumps.
