LiquiCell

Long term blood perfusion when sitting on three different cushioning materials

Conclusion

Blood perfusion was measured on 15 healthy subjects while sitting on three different cushions; a LiquiCell® cushion, a gel cushion, and a foam cushion. After 60 minutes there is a significantly better blood perfusion when sitting on the LiquiCell® cushion, 1.8 times better compared to the foam cushion (P=0.02) and 2.3 times better compared to the gel cushion (P=0.005). These results show that the reduction of shear force on the tissue caused by the LiquiCell® cushion results in a better load situation inside the tissue, which results in better blood perfusion.
