Foam Wheelchair Positioning Cushion for Injury Prevention by NYOrtho

The NYOrtho APEX CORE Wedge Pommel Foam Cushion is carefully created to meet the needs of patients at risk of pressure ulcers or those requiring improved posture support and precise hip alignment. This pillow has a strong base made of dense beveled polyethylene, which removes the hammock effect often seen in cheaper cushions. This guarantees that the cushion offers a stable and supportive foundation, essential for the comfort and safety of patients.

The cushion's wedge shape is essential in stopping patients from sliding forward, a common problem in wheelchair seating. Moreover, the included pommel assists in maintaining correct hip alignment by ensuring that the knees stay apart, ultimately decreasing the chances of hip rotation. This function is especially advantageous for patients needing stable hip alignment to avoid discomfort and possible harm.

Covered in high-density foam, the cushion provides excellent pressure relief and comfort, perfect for long periods of use. The stretch cover that enhances the cushion's functionality by increasing moisture evaporation is crucial for keeping skin healthy and preventing pressure sores. This cover is designed to provide a hygienic and long-lasting seating solution as it is breathable, antimicrobial, water-resistant, and mildew-resistant.

The cushion includes a strong non-slip underside and easy-to-use straps for securing it in place and adding stability. This cushion meets the standards of CA 117-2013 and is a reliable option for improving patient comfort and safety while using a wheelchair. The NYOrtho APEX CORE Wedge Pommel Foam Cushion is an excellent choice for patient care, whether it is for extended use or particular medical requirements.
