<p>A cushion construction for positioning below a patient suffering from incontinence which is hygenic to use and which does not require permanent modification of a mattress or seat on which it is to be used is formed as a resilient body, particularly a foam block, having an upper surface (1) substantially parallel to its lower surface when the cushion is unstressed with the upper surface (1) being interrupted by a fluid collection and channelling area (3) including an inclined drainage plane extending downwardly into the body of the cushion to a drain hole (2) in an interior region thereof communicating the lowermost region of the inclined drainage plane with the underside of the resilient block. At least those surfaces of the cushion which will be contacted by urine will be covered with fluid impermeable sheet material (4). The cushion has optional urine collection systems either for use with a conventional incontinence pad or comprising a drainage duct (37) to a fluid container (38).</p> |
