Compact Wheelchair Cushion for Preventing Forward Sliding

The NYOrtho APEX CORE Wedge Gel-Foam Cushion is designed to address the needs of patients who tend to slide forward. The cushion combines a firm core foundation that eliminates hammocking with the innovative APEX design, which positions the gel-pod closer to the top of the cushion. This provides a cooler interface between the patient and the wheelchair, enhancing comfort and reducing pressure.

The high-performance stretch cover further improves moisture evaporation and enhances the APEX design features. The wedge design helps prevent and stop forward sliding, while the firm core foundation, made of high-density beveled polyethylene, eliminates the hammocking and hammock effect.

The innovative APEX design incorporates dual-density foam layers, with a soft top entry layer that promotes direct contact with the cooling gel-pod, and a higher-density base layer for support and pressure distribution. By bringing the gel-pod closer to the top, the cushion offers superior comfort and stability.

The breathable, stretch-removable cover is made of high-performance, pressure-reducing fabric that promotes healing through active moisture evaporation and cooling at the patient's pressure points. It is also water-resistant, providing added protection.

The cushion features an aqueous dual gel-pod, which reduces gel migration. The aggressive non-slip bottom and easy-to-attach quick-release straps ensure that the cushion stays in place, providing a secure and stable seating experience for the patient.

Overall, the NYOrtho APEX CORE Wedge Gel-Foam Cushion is a comprehensive solution that addresses the needs of patients who are prone to sliding forward. Its innovative design, firm core foundation, and advanced features work together to enhance comfort, reduce pressure, and prevent forward sliding, ultimately improving the patient's seating experience and overall well-being.
