Wedge Foam Wheelchair Cushion

Wedge Foam Wheelchair Cushion is recommended for those who need to lean back in the wheelchair for a better sitting posture and to reduce sliding. Ideal for those who have incontinence, the Wedge Foam Wheelchair Cushion is covered with a heat-sealed anti-bacterial vinyl for a wipe-clean cushion.

Two-toned wedges for wheelchair positioning assist caretakers with a visual reminder. By establishing prescribed hours when the black or yellow surfaces should be facing up, caregivers can easily determine if repositioning protocols are being followed. The Wedge high-density foam Wheelchair Cushion is recommended for pressure elimination. An incontinent-proof cover is included for easy maintenance. 

Note:  All vinyl-covered, soft foundation wedges are supplied with two-color surfaces. The same is true of wedges with cloth outer covers, vinyl inner covers, foam filling, and soft foundations. Remove the cloth covers if you want to use the two-color surfaces.

ERGONOMIC WEDGE DESIGN: The Skil-Care Wedged Foam Wheelchair Cushion features an ergonomic wedge shape, promoting proper posture and pelvic alignment, crucial for wheelchair users. This design helps in reducing the risk of slouching and pressure sores.

PRESSURE RELIEF AND COMFORT: Made with high-density foam, the cushion offers effective pressure relief and comfort. It's ideal for individuals spending extended periods in a wheelchair, ensuring support and reducing fatigue.

• Soft Foundation vs. Firm foundation: Firm foundation will eliminate pressure more effectively to prevent pressure sores.
  
• Why Choose a Cover: Covers will protect the cushion from wear and tear, as well as incontinence. They are also soft to the touch.
  
• Polyester Cover vs. Low Shear II Cover: Polyester is a knitted fabric that stretches to reduce skin-damaging shear forces. The Low Shear II fabric is a 2-way stretch, breathable polyurethane with a laminated polyester coating that reduces skin-damaging shear forces.

STABLE AND SECURE SEATING: The wedge design not only aids in posture but also provides stability, preventing forward sliding in the wheelchair. This enhances the safety and security of the user while seated.

DURABLE AND EASY-TO-CLEAN COVER: The cushion is encased in a durable cover that's easy to clean, promoting hygiene and prolonging the cushion's life. The cover's design also minimizes skin friction, adding to the overall comfort.

SAFETY FEATURES: Wedge Foam Wheelchair Cushion include tie cords that secure the wedge to the wheelchair frame. These cords must be secured in order to prevent the wedge from slipping off the wheelchair seat.
