EHOB Waffle Pressure Injury Prevention Products

The EHOB Waffle line does one thing exceptionally well: it redistributes pressure to protect skin from breakdown. Built on a distinctive air-cell "waffle" surface, these cushions, overlays, and heel protectors are used across hospitals, long-term care, and home settings for the prevention and treatment of Stage I–IV pressure ulcers and deep tissue injury. Because inflation is manual, most products need no electricity — a real advantage for facilities managing many beds or for patients at home.

Choosing the right product starts with the body part and setting. For seating, the EHOB Original Waffle Cushion (17 x 17 in.) and the fluid-resistant Waffle Extended Care Cushion suit wheelchairs and recliners, while the Waffle Multi-Care Pad handles up to 300 lbs. For the bed, the Waffle Econo Extended Care Plus Mattress Overlay (76 x 34 x 3 in., pump included) and the low-profile Waffle M.A.D Mattress Overlay convert an ordinary mattress into a therapeutic surface. Heels — one of the highest-risk areas — are addressed by the Waffle Air Cushion Foot/Heel Protector Boot, the Foot Waffle, and the pre-inflated Waffle Cradle Heel Cushion.

A frequent question is how these inflate. The system relies on precise air fill, so pairing the surface with the correct pump matters: the Waffle L.A.D. hand pump is designed for chair cushions and foot products, while the Waffle M.A.D. hand pump delivers exact inflation for the Extended Care Plus and bariatric overlays. Several items, like the cradle heel cushion, arrive pre-inflated for immediate use. Note that some cushions, such as the Original Waffle, are sold with the pump separately — worth confirming at checkout.
