NYOrtho APEX CORE Anti-Thrust Wheelchair Cushion Cooling Gel-Foam High Density Rigid Firm Foundation Base Layer Eliminates Hammock Effect, Non Slip Water Resistant Prevent Pressure Injuries
RECOMMENDED USE:
Patients at risk for pressure ulcers requiring anterior buildup at mid-line while preventing forward ischial migrations.
Description
Designed to prevent forward ischial migration and to provide greater lateral stability, the NYOrtho APEX CORE™ Anti-Thrust Gel-Foam Cushion, combines a firm core foundation that eliminates hammocking with the superlative APEX™ innovative design, which 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 and enhances the APEX™ design features.
Features
- Anti-thrust provides anterior buildup at mid-line while preventing forward ischial migrations.
- Firm CORE Foundation: High density beveled polyethylene provides a firm foundation that eliminates hammocking.
- Innovative APEX™ Design Cools and Reduces Body Interface Pressure: Dual density foam layers provide a soft top entry layer promoting direct interface with cooling gel-pod and a higher density base layer for support and pressure distribution. This top-design brings the gel-pod up close so you can feel the superior comfort and stability.
- Breathable Stretch Removable Cover: High performance pressure reducing fabric promotes healing via active evaporation of moisture and cooling at patient pressure points. Antimicrobial, water-resistant and mildew-resistant.
- Aqueous Dual Gel-Pod: Dual chamber gel-pod reduces gel migration.
