The 2″ Gel Foam Wheelchair Cushion is an upgraded seating solution designed for users who require enhanced pressure redistribution and temperature regulation. By combining a high-density foam base with an integrated cooling gel core, this cushion provides superior comfort compared to standard foam. It is an excellent choice for residents at a moderate risk for skin breakdown who need a low-profile support surface.
Key Features & Benefits
Gel-Infused Pressure Relief: The internal gel core helps to “float” the user’s bony prominences (such as the tailbone and hips), significantly reducing peak pressure points during extended sitting.
Temperature Management: The gel properties help dissipate body heat, keeping the user cool and preventing the moisture buildup that can lead to skin maceration.
Dual-Layer Construction: Features a supportive foam base to prevent “bottoming out” paired with the therapeutic gel top for maximum immersion and comfort.
Fluid-Resistant Stretch Cover: Equipped with a vapor-permeable, antimicrobial cover that protects against spills while reducing skin shear and friction.
Safety & Stability: The non-slip bottom surface ensures the cushion remains firmly in place during patient transfers, reducing the risk of sliding or falls.
