Collection: Pressure Care Products

Prevention, Relief & Wound Management

Pressure injuries don't announce themselves. They develop quietly, often in people who are already dealing with enough: older adults spending long hours in bed or a chair, patients recovering from surgery, people with limited mobility, or anyone whose skin isn't getting the movement and circulation it needs. The right pressure care equipment doesn't just treat what's already happened. It stops a lot of it from happening in the first place.

This collection covers the full spectrum of pressure care: cushions and overlays that redistribute weight and relieve pressure at the source, mattresses designed for high-risk patients who spend extended time in bed, negative pressure wound therapy systems for active wound management, and specialised seating and footwear for people whose pressure care needs don't stop when they sit up or get moving.

Pressure Care Products: What We Stock

Pressure care is one of those areas where the product range looks broad until you understand that pressure injuries can develop anywhere the body makes sustained contact with a surface, and that prevention and treatment are two different jobs that sometimes need to happen at the same time.

• The cushion range covers seating pressure relief across a wide variety of needs and settings: gel and foam dual-layer cushions for everyday use, coccyx and donut cushions for tailbone support, lift cushions for people who need help transitioning from seated to standing, swivel cushions for safer transfers, and wheelchair-specific options for people who spend most of their day in a chair.
• For mattresses, the range includes firm risk prevention mattresses for people at moderate risk and high-care support mattresses for those with more complex needs or existing injuries.
• For active wound management, the PICO range of negative pressure wound therapy systems provides clinical-grade treatment in a format that works in both hospital and home settings.
• And for the extremities, sheepskin boots and foot rest overlays address the feet and heels, which are among the most common sites for pressure injuries.
  

Popular Pressure Care Products

• PICO 7 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System
  Negative pressure wound therapy works by applying controlled suction to a wound, drawing out fluid, reducing swelling, and creating an environment that actively supports healing.
  
  The PICO 7 is a compact, single-use system with no bulky canisters and no external tubing to manage. It's used in hospitals and increasingly in home care settings for surgical wounds, chronic wounds, and pressure injuries that need active management.
  
  Available as a standalone system and as a pack with dressings included. Selection and application should always be guided by a wound care nurse or clinician.
• Cobalt Health GelComfort Dual Layer Cushion
  A dual-layer cushion combining a gel top layer with a supportive foam base. The gel conforms to the body's shape to distribute weight evenly, while the foam provides the underlying structure that keeps the cushion stable under sustained use.
  
  A practical everyday pressure relief option for people at risk of pressure injuries from prolonged sitting, whether that's in a wheelchair, a recliner, or at a desk. Suitable for home and facility use.
• Sovereign S6 High Care Support Pressure Relieving Mattress
  For patients with higher acuity pressure care needs, including those with existing pressure injuries or at very high risk of developing them.
  
  The S6 provides a higher level of pressure redistribution and support, suited to patients who are largely immobile or who require clinical-grade pressure management at home or in a facility. A step up from standard firm risk mattresses for situations where more is genuinely needed.
• SitNStand Lift Assist Lift Cushion — Classic
  For people who struggle to stand up from a seated position, the SitNStand provides a gentle powered lift that assists the transition from sitting to standing without requiring a full lift chair. It sits on top of an existing chair and activates to tilt the person forward and upward.
  
  A practical and less expensive alternative to a lift chair for people whose main challenge is getting up rather than reclining. Also available in a compact format and a wheelchair-specific version.
• Sheepskin Medical Wild Goose Boot — Open Toe Pressure Care
  Heel pressure injuries are among the most common and most preventable. These medical-grade sheepskin boots offload the heel entirely by redistributing pressure along the calf, keeping the heel suspended and free from contact.
  
  The open-toe design allows for skin inspection without removing the boot, which is important for clinical monitoring. Suitable for bed-bound patients and those at elevated risk of heel breakdown.
  

Who Needs Pressure Care Equipment?

Pressure care equipment is rarely purchased casually. The people who need it are usually navigating something genuinely difficult.

• Older adults and their family carers managing the risk of pressure injuries at home, where reduced mobility, poor nutrition, and long hours in bed or a chair create real vulnerability.
• Patients recovering from surgery or illness, particularly those with wounds that need active management or those spending extended periods immobile during recovery.
• People with spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions, or other disabilities that result in reduced sensation or prolonged sitting, where pressure injury risk is an ongoing concern rather than a temporary one.
• Aged care facilities managing residents across a range of pressure injury risk levels, who need a reliable range of prevention and treatment products they can match to individual clinical needs.
• NDIS participants whose plans include funding for assistive technology or consumables related to pressure care.
• And community nurses, wound care nurses, and occupational therapists recommending or sourcing specific products for patients in their care.

If you're a clinician or OT sourcing products for a patient, our team is familiar with the range and happy to assist with product selection. And if you're unsure whether a product is appropriate for a specific clinical situation, that's always a question worth putting to a wound care nurse or GP.
