Meanwhile, the qualities of MultiCure® Cushions and MultiTask®™ Filmpads are appreciated in many areas of application, the hard hospital day-to-day business as well as home care. Our products help all those having to sit or lay for long periods of time. The fields of application go far beyond specific decubitus prophylaxis and therapy.
Beginning with premature infants, it spreads wide over many medical disciplines; for example Emergency First-Aid, Surgery, X-rays, Cancerology, Dentistry and Geriatric Departments. People confined to wheelchairs also appreciate our gel cushions as a sitting support ensuring a comfortable position to prevent bedsores while healing. They feel real relief thanks to the viscosity and elasticity of our gel.
Decubitus ulcers are not only induced by long periods of immobility, they can also occur in short periods of intensive chronic pressure on a limited part of the body. Thence, the use of our thin, highly elastic Filmpads on operating and radiology tables, for hyperbaric therapy in pressured chambers (up to 5 bars) and cold/hot therapy.
Advantages of the MultiTask®™ Gels in chemo therapy;
Heated MultiTask®™ Gels products retain the temperature for quite a long time. This thermal inertia can be used to great advantage in chemo therapy. By laying the patient on a heated gel support he can be placed into an "artificial fever"; it is well known that medicines used in chemo therapy are more efficient in fighting tumours if the patient's body temperature is higher than normal. The dosage can be reduced and the unpleasant side-effects of this therapy are reduced too.
Advantages of the MultiTask®™ Gel in oral surgery;
Before an operation the lower jaw is cooled with the Filmpad so that the patient is feeling less pain. The dental surgeon can work more efficiently and also has the advantage of using reduced anesthetics.
