Supracor introduces its ventilated Bariatric Cushion, featuring Stimulite honeycomb for pressure-sore prevention

SAN JOSE, CA, June 12, 2002—Supracor—Technology You Can Get Comfortable With™—has added the
Stimulite® Honeycomb Bariatric Cushion to its revolutionary line of pressure-relief and positioning cushions.

“Similar to all of our cushions, the new 2 3/4-inch thick Bariatric Cushion provides Total Pressure Management®—pressure relief, reduced shearing and ventilation to control heat and moisture—the key to
pressure-sore prevention and treatment,” said Susan Wilson, director of Research, Design and Development. 

Made from a flexible form of aerospace honeycomb, the lightweight Bariatric Cushion consists of two soft
layers fused to the back of a robust bottom layer. Thousands of perforations in the honeycomb cell walls
circulate air and evaporate moisture to keep people cool and comfortable. An incontinence pad can be placed
inside the breathable cover between the top and bottom layer, enabling fluid to flow through the cushion while
keeping the skin dry.

Supracor’s high-performance Bariatric Cushion provides superior pressure relief and stability since
honeycomb’s unique cellular matrix distributes weight uniformly over a much wider area than other cushioning
materials. The interconnected, open cells conform naturally to the body and flex with movement to prevent
shearing. Machine washable and dryer safe, the Bariatric Cushion is made from a recyclable, medical grade
material that is antibacterial, antifungal and odor resistant. For those who do not have access to a commercial
washer and dryer, just sponge the honeycomb cushion with soapy water, rinse and shake dry. Available in
sizes ranging from 25” to 35”; accommodates people weighing up to 650 pounds. Experience the luxurious
comfort of Stimulite honeycomb and discover how our cells work for your cells.®

honeycomb to meet the needs for shock absorption and cushioning in various consumer, military and industrial markets. In the medical field, Supracor’s Stimulite Honeycomb Cushions and Support Surfaces have set the
