NYOrtho™ APEX QUAD Gel-Visco Wheelchair Cushion
RECOMMENDED USE:
Wheelchair users with physical or cognitive impairments who require supportive seating to maintain comfort and positioning during prolonged seated use and who may be at increased risk of pressure-related skin concerns due to limited mobility or extended sitting.
Description
The NYOrtho™ APEX QUAD Gel-Visco Wheelchair Cushion features a VISCO foam top layer that provides a gradual load response and helps absorb mechanical forces at the seating interface. Beneath the VISCO layer, the quad gel pod is chambered closer to the top of the cushion, providing a cooler interface between the patient and wheelchair. The quad-compartment gel pod provides greater control over gel distribution across the seating surface, supporting a more consistent seating interface during use. A high-performance stretch cover improves moisture evaporation, supporting the APEX design features.
Features
- VISCO foam top layer provides a gradual load response to help absorb mechanical forces at the seating interface, positioned above the gel pod for surface-level load moderation.
- APEX QUAD features a quad-chambered gel insert that provides greater control over gel distribution, maintaining consistent gel placement and a stable seating interface during use.
- Gel insert helps create a cooler interface by dissipating heat away from high-contact areas during prolonged seated use.
- The design chambers the gel pod closer to the surface to provide a cooler interface between the patient and wheelchair and help reduce interface pressure.
- High-performance stretch cover promotes moisture evaporation; antimicrobial, water-resistant, and mildew-resistant.
- Aggressive non-slip bottom with quick-release straps helps keep the cushion securely positioned on the wheelchair seat.
- Designed for use with a solid seat insert (9-SSI) to help reduce hammocking associated with wheelchair sling seats.
- Bariatric sizes utilize maximum-density foam to support durability and longevity.
