Important Information
The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to understand their
causes and your role in a skin management program.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have questions regarding
individual limitations and needs.
All seats should be selected carefully. Working with your therapist, and physician
is the best way to assure that a seat choice matches your individual needs.
As the needs of the individual become more complex, the seat evaluation becomes
more important.

pressure management for patients with postural asymmetry and skin integrity
concerns. The Flovair seat is available in two different contours to suit the amount
