Disabled and elderly people, who spend many hours every day in wheelchairs are at increased risk of developing skin problems. There are many factors involved in the development of pressure sores. Some of such factors can be easily measured and visually presented (i.e. interface  pressure). Other very important factors that contribute to the development of pressure sores include overheating and sweating. Overheating and sweating contribute not only to the development of soreness, but also to the significant loss of comfort even after short time of continuous sitting. Ventilation and cooling are very important and should be seriously considered, when choosing  personal wheelchair cushions.          

Silicon Wheelchair Cushion with Integral Air Cells Ventilation System is a highly versatile cushion that can be used on wheelchairs and other sitting surfaces. Solid silicon cushion offers all the features required for a comfortable, safe and stable sitting experience on wheelchairs and other sitting surfaces and in varying outdoor and indoor temperatures for many hours at a time. The air cells system interwoven throughout the entire body of the cushion provide continuous access of air and facilitate highly beneficial ventilation that controls and reduces temperature build-up and minimises formation of moisture and sweating.

The entire cushion is made from a soft yet firmly supportive solid silicon. The sitting surface is gently contoured for the optimum multi-directional sitting stability and lasting support. The sitting surface is super smooth and soft and has softly tapered edges. During use, the silicon moulds itself gently around the user's bottom, readily flexing in response to user's movements. Original shape is restored, when not in use with no compression related permanent deformities occurring.              

Silicone Wheelchair Cushion with Integral Air Cells Ventilation System provides hours of 'cool and dry' comfort without the discomfort and the dangers presented by overheating and sweating normally associated with prolonged sitting. The cushion measures 45 cm (18 inches) in width, 40 cm (16 inches) in length and 5 cm (2 inches) in thickness.  The cushion weighs 3.2 kg and can be easily transferred from one sitting place to another. The solid silicon cushion performs best in users with the body weight up to 100 kg.

The cushion comes with a handy washable cover made from a light, but durable polyester fabric with non-slip bottom surface. The non-slip surface ensures that the cushion stays firmly put on the sitting area without undesirable displacements from its chosen positioning during movements. The cushion cover is equipped with convenient side handles that make the cushion easily transferable between wheelchairs and/or other sitting areas as required.
