Air Pulse PK Dynamic cushion
The Airpulse PK wheelchair cushion system is Aquila
Corporation's most dynamic cushion system. It was designed to be the
most advanced solution to help heal and prevent pressure sores.
The patented Airpulse PK is an automatic pressure relieving device that ensures adequate pressure relief and blood flow. Alternate cells of the cushion are automatically inflated and deflated to the desired firmness on an adjustable timed cycle.
This action changes pressure contact points and
stimulates circulation to the compressed tissue. Circulation is
maintained to all areas of the posterior so the primary cause
of skin breakdown is eliminated.
Each and every Airpulse PK wheelchair cushion system
is custom made to order to address the client's specific needs. We have
taken on many challenging situations with remarkable results. Clinical
case results have proven this product to be effective and doctors
frequently recommend the Airpulse PK for use by their patients.
Three Airpulse PK Models
Standard Battery Model: powered from its own rechargeable battery source, it will operate for up to 40 continuous hours per charge.
Power Chair Model: powered from the 24-volt power chair batteries only.
Hybrid Model: powered from either the 24-volt power chair battery or its own battery source with the flip of a switch.
The Controller
The Control Module of the Airpulse PK provides the mechanism to automatically operate the cushions unique cell configurations. It is portable, weighs less than two pounds, including the battery, and can easily be fastened to the armrest, back or other parts of the wheelchair. It also features an audible and visual low pressure alert.
The Airpulse PK controller gives the user or caregiver a wide range of firmness and cycle time settings with the touch of a button making it fully adjustable to adapt to the client's future needs.
Customized Solution
The Airpulse PK is not an "off the shelf" product. Each Airpulse PK cushion system we build is tailored to match the specific needs of the individual client. We have years of experience in designing the most appropriate systems for difficult seating situations.
We
gather information on the client such as weight, location of any
existing and past history of any pressure sores, the type of chair
used by the client.
We also adjust for any special situations such as
compensating for pelvic lean, high level amputations, MS patient with
severe pelvic obliquities and patients with acute Stage IV pressure
sores.
Then we program the controller and build the cushion
for optimal effectiveness. The Airpulse PK system has also helped reduce
recovery time for post flap surgery patients. See our Customization
Scenarios for examples.
Safety
The Airpulse PK has a low pressure audible and visual
alert. The cushion will not deflate if the battery should become fully
discharged or the unit is turned off. The cells also have foam insert
to guard against bottoming out in the unlikely event that the cushion
should become damaged and lose air.
