The 2″ Gel Wheelchair Cushion is an advanced therapeutic seating solution designed for users who require enhanced pressure redistribution and superior comfort. By integrating a specialized cooling gel bladder within a high-density foam base, this cushion provides a “floating” effect that protects sensitive areas while maintaining a slim, low-profile design. It is the ideal choice for residents at a moderate risk for skin breakdown who spend significant time in a seated position.
Key Features & Benefits
Advanced Pressure Redistribution: The internal gel bladder helps to redistribute body weight away from bony prominences (like the ischial tuberosities), significantly reducing the risk of pressure ulcers.
Thermal Regulation: The gel core acts as a heat sink, absorbing and dissipating body heat to keep the skin cool and dry, which is essential for maintaining skin integrity.
Dual-Layer Therapeutic Design: Features a supportive, medical-grade foam base that prevents the user from “bottoming out,” topped with a gel layer for maximum immersion.
Shear-Reducing Stretch Cover: The premium 4-way stretch cover moves with the user to minimize friction and shear, while its vapor-permeable properties keep the microclimate of the skin stable.
Enhanced Stability: Equipped with a non-skid bottom and security ties to ensure the cushion remains perfectly positioned during transfers and daily movement.
Infection Control: The cover is 100% fluid-resistant and antimicrobial, allowing for quick and easy sanitization between uses.
