For years, therapists, physicians, and wound care specialists have recognized that multi-celled air cushions are the best proven system for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. However, in the past, many therapists have felt that they needed to compromise positioning options and stability with multi-celled air cushions in order to achieve the superior skin protection benefits. With the StarLock, there is no compromise! The StarLock accomplishes this through its patented Cell Locking Technology. Instead of only having a dual (2) zone cushion or quad (4) zone cushion, the StarLock allows the user to stop the flow of air between each cell in the cushion. This means that instead of just regulating the amount of air in a dual or quad zone cushion, or moving air from one side to the other or front to back to gain some positioning and/or stability, the StarLock can be custom fit to the user’s unique shape by locking the transfer of air between each cell in the cushion.
