Cushioning pads made of synthetic foam that are designed to reduce pressure on specific areas or the whole body. These pads consist of a mass of soft foam that may be wrapped into a flexible cover as a small cushion. Dedicated foam pressure relief pads may be conformed in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are mainly used to distribute localized pressure to larger body areas, especially to prevent or alleviate pressure sores. The pads are frequently used on top of chairs, wheelchairs, tables, and beds; some of these pads are also used as positioning aids.
