NYOrtho APEX Wedge Wheelchair Cushion Cooling Gel-Foam Stop Forward Sliding High Density Non Slip Water Resistant Prevent Pressure Injuries
RECOMMENDED USE:
Patients at low risk for pressure injuries, requiring posture support, that are inclined to slide forward.
Description
The NYOrtho APEX™ Wedge Gel-Foam Cushion, designed for patients inclined to slide forward, features an innovative design that chambers the dual 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, enhancing APEX™ design features.
Features
- Wedge design helps prevent forward sliding.
- 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.
- Dual chambered cooling gel-pod reduces gel migration and dissipates metabolic heat, continuously maintaining a cool interface between the body and cushion.
- Available four chambered gel-pod minimizes gel migration in the area of highest pressure.
- High-performance pressure reducing fabric promotes healing via active evaporation of moisture and cooling at patient pressure points. Antimicrobial, water-resistant and mildew-resistant.
- Aggressive non-slip bottom with easy to attach quick-release straps keep cushion in place.
- Meets CA 117-2013 standards.
