Pressure ulcers and pressure sores are formed due to the interruption in blood supply for that particular body parts that are in constant pressure due to the weight of the patient. Oxygen and the necessary nutrients that keep the cells alive is cut off and the cells die or deteriorate. These pressure ulcers may develop due to the internal factors of the patient and also to the external factors of the surroundings.
Internal factors that cause a patient to develop pressure ulcers may be the mobility problems, age, bowel and urinary incontinence, certain health conditions, serious mental health problems and poor nutrition. External factors are the pressure created due to the hard surface of bed or wheelchair cushions, moisture, involuntary muscle movements, etc.,
The wheelchair cushions the are designed to combat with pressure ulcers and sores are foam cushions, gel cushions, air or dry floatation cushions, urethane honeycomb cushions and alternating pressure sore treatment.
Foam cushions have developed a lot in recent times. Thye have built in memory pads to hold the shape and thus provide you more stability. These are inexpensive but can wear down fast. Gel cushions act as the replacement for atrophied muscle tissue providing the same support and consistency to your body. However, gel cushions tend to leak so it is a better idea to have alternatives and extras. Air cushions supply air which is shifted evenly to the entire area.

They contain numerous individual cells like beehives so that they are capable of equal weight distribution, support and comfort. The multiple layers on these cushions allow the patient to sink comfortably enjoying the softness and at the same time supported by the strong deeper layers. Creating alternate pressure through air pumps in the cushions is the new technology developed innovatively for pressure relieving.
