Risk category
Suitable for patients at risk to very high risk.
Pressure ulcer categories
For the treatment of all categories of pressure ulcers, as part of a package of care.
Use within this product’s intended setting, fit and user-weight limits, following clinical assessment and the current Instructions for Use.
Pressure redistribution for the seated user
Repose Cushion provides a reactive air seating surface for static chairs, general-purpose wheelchairs and suitable riser-recliners with armrests. Its flexible air chambers conform to the seated user as part of an assessed pressure-care plan.
Choosing and fitting your support
Check the usable seat width and depth and the user’s seated position before choosing a cushion. This selection is the 45 cm cushion; use the chair’s dimensions and the fitting guidance rather than assuming that every chair is suitable. Secure a cushion without a cover using its fixing strap around the chair back. A cover is included only where stated.

Repose technology in daily use
Manual inflation with Smart Valve
The correct Repose pump sets the intended inflation pressure. Inflate with the user off the product. Use the pump specified for the supplied configuration.
User-weight guidance
139 kg maximum user weight.

Manufacturer demonstration. The guide also demonstrates an optional fitted cover. This set includes one 45 cm cushion and Small Pump; cover is supplied separately. Follow the current product-specific Instructions for Use.
Daily checks and cleaning
Check inflation with the manufacturer’s daily squeeze check and inspect positioning and skin regularly. Reconnect the correct pump and top up within a maximum of 14 days; the daily check still applies between top-ups. Always inflate and top up with the person off the product.
Clean visible contamination with detergent, water and a non-abrasive cloth. In the absence of visible contamination, follow the manufacturer’s weekly cleaning guidance and local infection-control policy. Dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash, immerse or sterilise the inflatable support, and keep liquid out of the valve. Removable PU covers have separate washing instructions.
Clinical use and precautions
Use only on a chair with armrests. This is not a substitute for posture management. The IFU excludes unstable spinal fractures, posture-management needs such as pelvic obliquity, and body shapes that cannot be fully supported.
Keep the valve away from skin and avoid direct contact with open wounds or compromised skin. Seek clinical advice immediately if skin condition changes. Keep away from heat and sharp objects. The valve contains a metal spring: do not use near MRI equipment. Read the complete IFU before use.
Use as part of an assessed pressure-care plan, alongside appropriate skin checks, repositioning and other care. The support does not replace those measures.
Compatible accessories
Separate accessories for this exact configuration. Check whether a cover is already included before adding another.
Clinical information
These manufacturer resources include a Repose Cushion laboratory evaluation and studies of combined Repose support systems. Laboratory pressure measurements and combined-system findings do not, by themselves, establish ulcer outcomes for each current cushion configuration.
Clinical assessment, skin inspection, repositioning and the wider care plan remain essential. Use the current product instructions for indications, precautions and maintenance; older study protocols are not instructions for present-day use.
