If you have aging parents or if you are a caregiver for an elderly or bed-bound person, you probably know about pressure ulcers.

These can be hard to treat, hard to get rid of, and very painful. The key to healing them and stopping more from appearing is to take the pressure off of the area, but this is not always something that can be done. There are times when a person must lie a certain way, in a specific position, and there are also individuals who simply cannot turn over by themselves.

Anyone like this is vulnerable to getting pressure ulcers, and the people who take care of them can get very concerned about the health and comfort of their patients when these ulcers appear. Ulcers can lead to infections, and these can be highly detrimental to a patient who is already in a weakened state.

For people who suffer with different kinds of pressure ulcers, Convo-Gel Ulcer Prevention Cushions are the way to go for both healing and comfort. These cushions come in four sizes: 16X16X3, 18X16X3, 20X16X3, and 20X18X3. Even the smallest one, at 16 inches square, is still a good size for most people and most pressure ulcers.

The 20 by 18 inch size can accommodate almost anyone. This allows someone who is smaller to get an ulcer prevention cushion that fits well while still offering products for larger people. At less than $65 per cushion they are an economical way to provide comfort and to allow an ulcer to heal more quickly through gel cushions for pressure sores.
