Direction for Use
The Dover neoprene cushion is an excellent medium-to-high level
pressure care cushioning device for wheelchair users vulnerable to
pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers.
1. Centre cushion on wheelchair, ensure air cells are facing
upward and the zipper is at the back.
2. Turn inflation valve anti clockwise to open.
3. Connect air injection hose with the inflation pump and insert air
injection hose into inflation valve.
4. Pump the cushion with inflation pump, and cushion inflates.
Pump until cushion feels firm.
5. Pinch the air injection hose near to the end and turn inflation
valve clockwise to close.
6. Remove inflation pump.
7. Have the user sit in the wheelchair, with the cushion centered
underneath. The user should be in their regular sitting position.
8. Place your hand between the cushion’s surface and the user’s
bottom. Slightly lifting their leg, feel for their lowest bony
prominence. Then lower their leg back into a sitting position.
9. Turn inflation valve anti clockwise to release air from the
cushion, while keeping your hand under the user’s lowest bony
prominence. Release air until you can barely move your
fingertips.
10. Turn inflation valve clockwise to close.
Important: Always consult authorised clinicians for correct
pressure care settings for each user prior to using the Dover.
