Wheelchair Positioning Cushion with Cooling Gel-Foam and Knee Positioning Pommel - APEX CORE by NYOrtho

The NYOrtho APEX CORE Wedge Pommel Gel-Foam Cushion is meticulously crafted for patients at risk of pressure ulcers and those needing reliable hip positioning. This cushion features a firm foundation made from high-density beveled polyethylene, which effectively eliminates the common hammock effect in wheelchairs, ensuring a stable and supportive sitting experience. The innovative APEX design integrates dual-density foam layers: a soft top layer that interfaces directly with a cooling gel pod, and a higher-density base layer that provides crucial support and pressure distribution. The strategically placed gel-pod closer to the top of the cushion ensures a cooler and more comfortable interface for the patient, enhancing overall comfort and reducing body interface pressure.

Additionally, the cushion's breathable stretch cover promotes active moisture evaporation, aiding in pressure reduction and contributing to a more comfortable user experience. This cover is also antimicrobial, water-resistant, and mildew-resistant, ensuring a hygienic and durable product. The high-performance fabric further enhances the cushion's comfort by cooling patient pressure points and promoting healing.

Equipped with an aggressive non-slip bottom and easy-to-attach quick-release straps, the cushion remains securely in place, ensuring consistent support and preventing forward sliding. This feature is crucial for patient safety and comfort, especially for those inclined to slide forward in their wheelchairs. The cushion meets the stringent CA 117-2013 standards, underscoring its quality and reliability, making it an essential accessory for patients requiring hip positioning and posture support.
