Highlights

Choice of three seat-well insert packages

Multiple insert selections allow therapists to customize the Jay® J2 Plus Cushion. For patients who are at low risk for skin breakdown, both standard and custom foam packages are available. These packages feature layers of Visco® foam that stack into the seat-well. For patients at high risk, fluid pad inserts are available.

Multiple Cover Selections

To provide for a variety of needs, the Jay® J2 Cushion features two types of covers: a Tritex® air-exchange cover which promotes cool-air movement, and an incontinent-resistant low-shear cover that combines the benefits of incontinent resistance and low shear. Both covers feature zipper closures.

Removable Urethane Overlay Cover

Protection from incontinence is an important feature in a bariatric cushion. The Jay® J2 Plus Cushion offers a removable urethane overlay cover. A velcro attachment flap on one end, allows the therapist easy access to the foam overlay, making it possible to switch out the seat-well insert at any point in time.

Anterior Sloped Cushion Base

Most bariatric patients have a problem with slumping forward. This is caused by the downward pull of their stomachs. By providing a slight anterior tilt to the cushion base, the hip angle is opened up enabling patients to sit more upright.

Other Features

  • To provide therapists, CRTS's, and dealers the maximum amount of flexibility to address individuals' needs, the Jay® J2 Plus Cushion incorporates a modular design. This design includes an easily modified base, foam overlay with multiple seat-well insert options, protective urethane overlay cover, and choice of two different outer covers.
  • Because redundant tissue expands to create wide hips, it is important to maintain a seat-well that is still within the confines of the actual bone structure. Since most pelvic bone structures do not usually extend beyond 18", all Jay® J2 Plus Cushions maintain seat-wells of 13" in width.
  • The cushion base is made from a closed-cell foam. Modifications such as seat-rail cutouts, leg-length discrepancies, backpost notch-outs, etc. can be made either in the field or at the factory.
  • Excess tissue surrounding the thighs will cause the legs of a bariatric patient to splay outward. To accommodate this effect, the leg troughs of the cushion base are cut at a slightly outward angle.
  • Seat depths ranging from 18" to 22" (in 1" increments) and seat widths ranging from 20" to 26" (in 1" increments) create a range of 35 separate cushion sizes. Combined with 3 insert options and two cover options provides up to 210 different cushions to choose from.
