Posey Floor Cushions - Manual

Floor Cushions
Simple precautions can help create a safer environment. The
Posey Floor Cushions help to minimize injuries from a fall.
Maximum Protection
Cushions absorb up to 85% of impact forces.* The 1” (3 cm) EVA
foam creates a low profile that is easy for patients to step on and
off. The non-skid bottom helps prevent slipping when stepping
onto the Cushion. The vinyl cover of the floor cushion meets CA
#117, Section E Flame Retardancy standards. To cover a larger area,
simply connect the straight sides of two Cushions using the
hook-and-loop strips provided.
REF 6028R Narrow Beveled Floor Cushion, Posey Glow:
70”L x 29”W x 1”H (178 cm x 74 cm x 3 cm)
Cushions with beveled edges easily accommodate wheelchairs,
walkers, and table trays. The glowstrip on the edge enhances
visibility in dark or lowlight conditions.
Use Instructions
1. Undo the hook-and-loop closure and unfold the Floor
Cushion.
2. Make sure the “This Side Down” label is facing the floor.
3. Position the Cushion lengthwise, with the straight (non-
beveled) edge flush to the side of the resident’s bed.
4. To connect two Cushions, use “hook” and “loop” strips.
Remove the paper backing and apply strips to the straight edges
of the two Cushions.
Inform resident and staff to take care when
stepping on or off of the Cushion to avoid tripping.
Follow your facility’s procedures for cleaning spills in patient
care areas. DO NOT place Floor Cushions on or around damp
or wet areas. Clean spills on, around or under Floor Cushions.
Liquids under Floor Cushions may cause a slip and fall accident.
When used with a Low Bed, be sure to leave
enough room between the bed and the Cushion. If the Cushion
is too close when the handrail is rotated, it could tear the
Cushion cover.
Posey Glow strips will fade after two hours
unless recharged by light exposure for approximately twenty
minutes.
