Structure and Materials
Dual-layered foam base with varying firmness
* The Ion cushion features a dual-layered foam base for a combination of structural support and comfort. For optimized immersion for each individual, the foam's firmness is determined by the cushion width, which directly corresponds with client weight

Visco Memory Foam Top Layer
* The Ion's top layer of soft, Visco memory foam conforms to each individual and distributes weight over a larger area for pressure reduction and maximum comfort.

Cover
Dual-Cover System
* X-Static with Ballistic Nylon
*The JAY Ion features a dual-cover system. The inner cover is water-resistant and easy to wipe off and clean, while its Aqua-guard zipper and anti-wicking thread protect the foam base from fluids. The machine-washable, stretch outer cover reduces surface tension and utilizes naturally anti-microbial, silver-impregnated X-static fiber. A layer of 3DX spacer fabric promotes airflow and dissipates heat and moisture for additional skin protection.

Application
* Suitable for people at low to moderate risk of developing a pressure injury.

Customisation
* Cushion can be modified with cuts for support / relief and notches for rails and posts.

Considerations

* All cushions must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct choice and depth of foam, correct inflation level) , a different product may need to be considered.
* Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front.
* It is advisable that a health professional be consulted when considering a suitable pressure care product.
* Foam must be regularly replaced as it losses its spring and becomes hard after long term use

TGA
Many of the items on the ILC NSW website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
