Title:
MULTI-WALLED GELASTIC MATTRESS SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/024593
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a gelastic cushion. The gelastic cushion is made from a conventional gelastic composition. The gelastic cushion has a structure having a first wall that defines an opening area and buckles when a force is applied to the first wall. When the first wall buckles a predetermined amount, a second wall, interconnected to the first wall, also buckles. The second wall decreases the chance that the first wall bottoms out. Bottoming out increases the pressure on the patient {a.k.a., the force) overlying the gelastic cushion. That increased pressure is undesirable.
