Wheelchair Cushion For Those at High Risk of Pressure Sores
48 air filled cells are individually covered with a layer of pressure relieving silicone based TRUGEL to provide outstanding pressure relief for the high risk user. The cells are split into two separate air chambers allowing the air pressure to be adjusted differently on either side of the cushion. The cells are contoured towards the rear making the G2 the perfect all around pressure relieving and positioning cushion. When pressure is applied, air circulates to each of the cells, distributing weight evenly. This process reduces high pressure concentrations around bony prominences, preventing skin breakdown. The layer of TRUGEL helps maintain body temperature better than air alone, thus reducing the risk of shear and friction.
Available in 7 sizes (see specifications).

Australian Standards have been developed to ensure equipment meets recognised safety and reliability criteria. To achieve this status, equipment must pass a series of tests in which it is put under difficult conditions that are designed to be similar to those that the child or adult may face when the equipment is used. For example, wheelchairs are tested for safhas gained Australian Standard acceptance, it provides a sense of satisfaction and reassurance that it is safe to be used and will do the job.
