NYOrtho™ APEX Wedge Gel-Foam Wheelchair Cushion
RECOMMENDED USE:
Wheelchair users with physical or cognitive impairments who are inclined to slide forward and 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™ Wedge APEX Gel-Foam Wheelchair Cushion, designed for wheelchair users inclined to slide forward, features an innovative design that chambers the gel pod closer to the top of the cushion, providing a cooler interface between the patient and wheelchair. A high-performance stretch cover improves moisture evaporation, supporting the APEX design features.
Features
- Wedge design helps reduce forward sliding.
- Dual-density foam construction provides a supportive top entry layer with a higher-density base for consistent seating support and pressure distribution.
- Dual-chambered gel insert is designed to help limit gel migration, maintaining consistent gel placement and a stable seating interface during use.
- Gel insert helps create a cooler seating interface by dissipating heat away from high-contact areas during prolonged seated use.
- 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.
