Description

Next Generation Positioning Cushions are developed to stabilise and make sure that your patient is pressure relieved with the aim of making the best opportunities for 24 hour positioning.

Dynamic bullets

All NGT cushions are filled with small, oval-shaped, dynamic bullets. They are soft and still able to stabilize. Even after 50,000 times of pressure loading, they still keep their shape and stability. The bullets are sealed, waterproofed, anti-bacterial and fire retardant. Other benefits of bullet technology include protection against heat and moisture accumulation.

Next Generation Positioning Cushions have a weight and stability that will make sure that the patient stays in position without collapsing of the cushion. The shape of the bullets ensures that the fillings will stay in the same positioning you have placed them, even over time. The cushion can be adjusted in areas, so it supports the person’s body shape and needs.

Next Generation Positioning Cushions also allow for micro positioning, for cases where isolation of tender or healing injuries is ideal.

Polyurethane (PU) material

The fabric is made in a PU material, so it is breathable, stretchable, anti-bacterial, waterproof and fire retardant. The PU material is approved against liquid penetration and used for PPE classification 3B Standard against Virus penetration. Next Generation Positioning Cushions are easy to clean and maintain. We recommend wiping them with disinfectants. They will dry and be ready for use within a few minutes.

Seahorse Cushion

The cushion makes it possible to do a stabilized, side positioning with only one cushion. With only one cushion, one can easily reposition a client at 30, 70 or 90 degrees. The Seahorse Cushion can also be used for lateral positioning at 135 degrees and then placed in front of the person. The shape and filling of the cushion is stable, and the weight gives the person the feeling of body delineation, so the person can feel safe. The pressure distribution prevents pressure ulcers. That combination gives a great starting point for regulating muscle tone contractures and spasticity, reducing pain and optimizing the respiration system.

U-Cushion with Slope

The U-Cushion is the main element in a Semi-Fowler position with 30 degreeselevation of truncus and head. The shape of the cushion makes sure that the Semi-Fowler positioning is stable with extra support of truncus and the head. The slope function gives you the opportunity to give extra tight support and stability around the hips and pelvic area. The Semi-Fowler position is retained for pressure relief, but also offers better respiration, optimizing the position for tube-feeding and other activities in bed. This gives the person a lot of tactile and proprioceptive feedback. The U-Cushion can be used as a stabilizer around the pelvic area for persons who need extra support sitting in bed, on the edge of a bed, etc. The material weight and the quality of the filling prevent unstable positioning because it’s possible to place it in direct contact with the body without heating up the person and without interrupting the microclima.

Fixzy Cushion

Fixzy Cushion is developed to make a safe and stable side positioning for people with reduced truncus stability. It allows people with reduced truncus stability and balance to lie in a side position, where the rectal angel is maintained. The cushions ”Feet” are stabilized along the back/lower back and at the front along the chest. This reduces rolling and maintains a stabilized side positioning in bed. The cushion is developed to create security and ”hugs” for people with pain, agitation and restlessness, which are difficult to perform on persons with low hygiene and constipation, who can’t maintain the angle without additional support along the spine and front. Fixzy Cushion offers a unique opportunity to provide Sense Integration on the front and back of the torso at the same time with just one cushion. The size depends on the person’s hip width.

Lap Cushion

The Lap Cushion has many possible uses and combinations. It can be used in the lap for the purpose of relieving stress in the forearms, sensing stimulation and during sitting activities to support the arms and shoulder in a neutral positioning in bed, in a chair, shower commode, etc. The weight of the cushion provides calmness and demarcation. For smaller people, it can be used as a stabilizer of the pelvis. It’s possible to create symmetry and alignment people with prostheses or apoplexy patients in relation to tone regulation. The small Lap Cushion can also be used as a neck pillow, in order to create a stable position for people with reduced head control. It also creates stability and pressure relief around drains, tubes, valves and/or fractures in the neck area.

Semicircle Ear Cushion

The Semicircle Ear Cushion prevents pressure on the ear. The design also allows the caregiver to expose smaller areas around the back of one’s head, such as exposed bone protrusions, where the pressure would be distributed around the exposed area.

Head Stabilizer

Use the cushion to do the important repositioning. The Head Stabilizer can be used in many ways. It can easily be used to fill cavities in connection with malposition and contractures. It can also be used to create lumbar sway, when the pelvis tense or rotates backwards, which creates a better sitting position in a bed and chair.

It is useful in the Semi-Fowler position. The cushion can also be used when lying on one’s side, in-between their knees at 135 degrees, as back support for persons with balance support needs at 70 degrees and for self-support in combination with repositioning, where full delimitation is not necessary. In addition, it can be used in the supine position to support the arms and shoulder area. It can also be used to avoid pressure under the heels by placing it under the lower leg area.

Book Support Cushion

The design of the cushion offers many possibilities of use and can be compared to a bookend, which creates stability where there is instability. The Book Support Cushion can be used as a stabilizer pillow when lying on one’s side, or in combination with either the Seahorse Cushion (NTG01) or the Flexo Cushion (NTG17). It can be used to support the elbow joint and forearm when the person lies in supine position or as a stabilizer when the caregiver provides wound care on lower legs and feet. It can also simply be used as a light lumbar back support pillow while lying sideways for persons with moderately impaired balance and truncus stability.

Cylinder Cushion

The Cylinder Cushion is another variant with great possibilities and functionality. It can be used as a stabilizer under the knees to avoid shear force and to prevent contractures. In addition to the supine, Semi-Fowler and side-lying position, where it is placed under the back, it is also very useful between the knees and/or in front during side-lying for agitated persons, who need reassurance and Sense Integration Stimulation. It is also useful to prevent drop foot and contraction in the ankle joints. Finally, it can be used in conjunction with repositioning at 30, 70 and 90 degrees sideways. Here, the cushions act as a stabilizer behind the Seahorse Cushion (NGT01), to support contractual knee joints and make a larger support surface by filling cavities. The Cylinder Cushion is yet another example of great variety, usability and functionality all in the same cushion.

Flex Arms for wheelchairs

The design makes it possible to create and recover the person’s neutral position, where the arms are supported close to the body’s midline. This supports the body’s natural body movement. The Flex Arms create calmness, security and guidance, which has a great impact on the person’s range of function and general condition. The weight and design of the flex arms ensure that the person’s arms are stable, and it is easy for the staff to place them and remove them if required.

Oval Cushion

The Oval Cushion is designed as a support cushion, which offers a lot of options in terms of filling the “cavity” between the body and the substrate. It can be used to create microstimulation with small adjustments changing the pressure distribution and preventing pressure ulcers. The cushion can be used to relieve specific body parts, for example, by securing bone protrusions around the elbow joint and ankle joint

Calf/Slope Cushion

The shape of the Calf/Slope Cushion helps to prevent incorrect postures, such as adduction and abduction around the knee area. It can be particularly effective when used with both the small (NTG05) and large (NTG06) Lap Cushion or the U-Cushion (NTG02). In this way you prevent incorrect posture in the pelvis area, which is always the starting point when correcting posture. In addition, the cushion can be used in cases where the lying surfaces of the bed do not fit each person’s unique size. In these cases, we recommend using it in combination with the Head Stabilizer (NGT09). If there is misalignment in the ankle joints (drop feet), use the Cylinder Cushion (NGT11) in combination with the Calf/Slope Cushion.

Butterfly Neck Cushion

The Butterfly Neck Cushion is designed to stabilize posture in the neck area for persons with reduced head control. The shape and filling forms inside the
cushion, so that the desired position will be maintained, and failure sinking will be prevented. The size of the cushion ensures that the person’s field of
vision is not impaired, so the person is able to maintain his field of vision and maintain eye contact with the surrounding environment. This creates security, symmetry and pressure distribution without removing visual input.

Heel/Arm Wedge Cushion

The Heel/Arm Wedge Cushion makes it possible to support a specific body part. The design and filling ensure that it keeps shape, and that it is possible to make total relief of pressure in the heels in connection with the prevention of pressure ulcers. The shape of the cushion and the filling makes it stable and malleable, so the arm or calf is relieved in the material, and the voids between the body part and the surface/mattress are filled. This is to create the greatest pressure distribution and to maintain a natural angle. The cushion is also suitable for positioning fractures in arms or legs in connection with operations and diagnostic procedures (e.g. X-rays) where the arms and lower legs must be positioned in a precise position, for lymphatic drainage treatment and for the prevention of oedema. The stability in the material makes the cushions suitable for resting arms or legs with reduced tone, to promote proper alignment and the prevention of improper positioning.

Flexo Cushion

The Flexo Cushion is the ultimate one. The length and weight of the cushion make it possible to easily create flexible positioning with the same cushion in
a supine position – Semi-Fowler position, side-lying position and in a partial prone position at 135 degrees. The cushion is sewn with two channels, which ensures that the filling does not “disappear” under the person when the staff does re-positioning. Stability and delineation are the key assets provided by the Flexo Cushion, providing increased flexibility in the possibilities of use. In addition, the cushion can be used both by persons who need to lie down but are partially self-reliant and by those who can participate actively in changing positions. The Flexo Cushion can also be used for immobile persons who need help with repositioning.

H-Cushion

The H-Cushion is uniquely suitable for resting legs in a side-lying position. This cushion is primarily used to correct adduction and tone of the upper extremities , with
focus on alignment. In addition, the cushion can be used in the supine position to prevent abduction of the upper extremities and ensure that the heels are far from
surfaces, if there is risk of developing pressure ulcers.
