Proactive Medical Protekt Seat Relief Alternating Pressure Seat Cushion System

Protekt® Seat Relief Active Seating System: 4-Cell Alternating Pressure Therapy with Advanced VGPT™ Microclimate Control

Institutional facilities, occupational therapy departments, and complex wound care clinics face an acute clinical challenge when managing pressure injuries for highly dependent patients bound to mobility seating. While advanced alternating pressure beds shield tissues when a patient is recumbent, transitioning that individual to a standard static wheelchair cushion concentrates their entire torso weight over the ischial tuberosities and sacrum. This constant localized force shuts down capillary blood flow, accelerating deep tissue ischemia and pressure ulcer breakdown. The Protekt® Seat Relief Alternating Pressure Cushion System solves this critical operational vulnerability by delivering continuous, active cell deflation and inflation directly to the seating interface.

The internal engineering of the Protekt Seat Relief system combines active pneumatic alternation with a passive thermodynamic comfort layer. The base foundation features four independent, heavy-duty neoprene air bladders that alternate pressure under the pelvis at selectable clinical intervals, ensuring that no single anatomical zone is subjected to prolonged static load. Positioned directly over this active bladder matrix is a premium topper made of Visco Gel Polymer Technology (VGPT™). This open-cell, gel-infused memory foam contours precisely to the patient’s pelvic profile to increase immersion while acting as a highly efficient thermal conductor that draws away skin-destroying metabolic heat and controls perspiration.

Key Benefits:

• Active 4-Bladder Pneumatic Alternation: Features 4 independent neoprene air bladders that dynamically cycle inflation and deflation to continuously redistribute pelvic weight and stimulate capillary circulation.
• Visco Gel Polymer Technology (VGPT™) Topper: Advanced gel-infused memory foam top layer contours to the patient's anatomy for optimal body immersion while actively dissipating metabolic heat to prevent skin maceration.
• 12-Hour Rechargeable Mobile Pump: User-friendly control pump features a premium rechargeable battery that runs for 12 hours continuously, supporting independent patient mobility and uninterrupted therapy.
• Customizable Digital Therapy Configurations: Outfitted with 3 selectable cycle times (10, 15, or 20 minutes) and 5 distinct comfort settings to match individual patient weight and comfort tolerances.
• Dedicated Placement Static Function: Includes a one-touch static mode that instantly stabilizes and hardens the air cell matrix uniformly, providing a secure, firm base for safe lateral transfers and positioning adjustments.
• Intelligent Diagnostic Alert System: Visual and audible low-battery and low-pressure indicators notify healthcare personnel immediately if airflow is compromised or the battery requires charging.
