What are some key benefits of using Blue Diamond Gel Positioners vs. foam?
• Gel will support the patient evenly across the horizontal plain on which the patient is lying, whereas foam will breakdown over an extended period of time. • Blue Diamond Gel is designed to simulate human fatty tissue composition, foam does not exhibit these properties. • Gel Reduces shear and friction that contributes to skin breakdown and the formation of ducubitae. • Our Blue Diamond Gel is reusable (cost effective), vs. disposable. • Our Gel is repairable, whereas foam would need to be disposed of if ripped. • Blue Diamond Gel pads are Anti-microbial and Anti-bacterial. • Blue Diamond Gel pads and positioners are manufactured with a ¼ inch continuous seal to the outer edge of the product to eliminate the chance for contaminants to collect between the gel skin.
