Free small water-cushions for paraplegics.

Decubitus ulcers on small prominent areas (e.g. the heels) in paraplegic and quadruplegic patients are likely to be a problem in a developing country with limited nursing and physiotherapy services. The use of plastic and silver foil container bags from emptied wine dispensing casks, filled with water, has been found to be a no-cost, effective method of preventing these decubitus ulcers.
