NYOrtho APEX Amputee Wheelchair Cushion Cooling Gel-Foam High Density Non Slip Water Resistant Prevent Pressure Injuries

RECOMMENDED USE:For amputee patients at risk of pressure ulcers. Description The NYOrtho APEX™ Amputee Gel-Foam Cushion is crafted to accommodate the specific seating requirements of amputees, whether they have undergone left, right, or bilateral limb loss. Unlike standard square or rectangular cushions that offer uniform support, this cushion features adaptable extensions designed to provide targeted support on either the left or right side, or on both sides for bilateral amputees. Features Cushion’s extensions on the left or right side, or both, are tailored to the needs of the user, critical for adapting to the specific area of limb loss, providing support where it is most needed to maintain balance and symmetry in the seating position. Maintains even weight distribution, which is essential to prevent spinal misalignment and reduce the risk of pressure sores by evenly distributing body weight, maintaining proper posture and providing stability. 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. Chambered dual gel-pod reduces gel migration and dissipates metabolic heat, continuously maintaining a cool interface between the body and cushion. 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.
