RecoverCare is dedicated to providing products and services that manage the risk issue for both the caregiver and wheelchair-bound patient in addition to providing therapy. The STAT PAC’s two-minute alternating pressure cycle time helps to simulate body movement leading to low interface tissue pressure readings.
The STAT PAC is easy to install on any standard wheelchair and simple to operate and maintain. The air cushions consist of low friction/low shear nylon. The breathable mattress cover provides a barrier to moisture and microbe transmission and features a surface that cleans easily to simplify infection control.
