Aquila Corporation

Website: www.aquilacorp.com
Product: APK2, SofTech

The APK2 and SofTech from Aquila Corporation are battery-operated, custom made alternating pressure sore treatment and relief cushions that use air and foam. They stimulate circulation by automatically alternating internal air bladders, which is instrumental in avoiding pressure sores and provides a benefit similar to that of performing a manual pressure lift, as well as alternate every 60 seconds to give skin and tissue optimal stimulation and perfusion. Ideal for paraplegics, quadriplegics, bariatric clients, or anyone who currently has pressure sores, each cushion is custom made to offload exactly where needed under a current pressure sore. There are three firmness selections, as well as low battery / low pressure alarms and bottom out protection. Features include a waterproof foam exterior, an antimicrobial cover, and a run time of more than 40 hours per charge. The controller weighs only 2.2 lbs. The APK2 houses the components (batteries, electronics, pump) in a control box, and the SofTech houses them inside the actual cushion. A wireless remote is standard with the SofTech and optional with the APK2. Custom features include offloading any sore location regardless of size or shape, custom bladder size and layout, and inflation programming based on the client’s weight. The HCPCS code for each is E2609. Retail price is $3900 (APK2) or $4300 (SofTech) regardless of customization or size. Accessories include incontinent cover, remote control, imbedded moisture control fan and pelvic positioning pad. A 1-year warranty extension can also be purchased.
