Abstract
A therapeutic medical chair is provided with a chair frame for receiving a box insert having an aperture therein. The aperture receives a flexible compression bag which includes a septum to divide the bag into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The septum includes at least one aperture therethrough to permit the migration of filler media from one chamber to the other. The gradual migration of the filler media from the upper chamber to the lower chamber gradually alters the support for a bean bag placed thereon which, in turn, gradually alters the seating of the patient to effectively prevent bed sores.
