Foam Wheelchair Cushion for Pressure Relief - NYOrtho

The Foam Wheelchair Cushion for Pressure Relief - NYOrtho is engineered to address the critical needs of wheelchair users, particularly those at risk for pressure injuries. This cushion features a sophisticated dual-layered foam construction combined with a dual-chambered gel pod. The medium-density top layer ensures proper envelopment of the patient, while the high-density base layer offers unwavering support and aids in pressure redistribution.

Incorporated into the design is a dual-chambered gel pod that serves to minimize gel migration and assist in dissipating body heat, thus maintaining a continually cool surface and enhancing patient comfort. This is particularly beneficial for patients who spend extended periods in a wheelchair, as it helps to prevent the development of pressure ulcers.

The cushion's high-performance stretch cover is another vital feature, as it promotes active moisture evaporation and a cooling effect at pressure points, contributing to the healing environment for the skin. The fabric is not only antimicrobial but also water-resistant and mildew-resistant, which helps in maintaining hygiene and extending the lifespan of the cushion.

For security and stability, the cushion is designed with an aggressive non-slip bottom and is equipped with quick-release straps for easy attachment, ensuring that the cushion stays in place without shifting. This feature is essential for safety and effectiveness, as a cushion that moves could compromise skin protection and comfort.

Furthermore, the cushion is adaptable for use with a solid seat insert to prevent the hammocking effect that can occur with wheelchair seats, offering additional stability and support. The cushions are also available in bariatric sizes, utilizing maximum-density foam to accommodate increased weight and ensure the longevity of support.

Customers can also opt for an upgrade to Sure-Chek medical-brand fabric for the cushion cover, which provides an additional layer of durability and protection. Lastly, the wheelchair cushion meets the CA 117-2013 standard for the flammability of resilient filling materials used in upholstered furniture.

Overall, the Foam Wheelchair Cushion for Pressure Relief - NYOrtho is a highly versatile and therapeutic product designed to provide maximum comfort, optimal positioning, and effective prevention of pressure injuries for individuals who use wheelchairs.
