NY Ortho APEX Wedge Wheelchair Gel-Foam Cushion High Density

Key Features

• With dual chambered cooling gel-pod
• Innovative APEX design
• Non-slip water resistant

The NYOrtho APEX™ Wedge Gel-Foam Cushion, designed for patients inclined to slide forward, features an innovative design that chambers the dual gel-pod closer to the top of the cushion, providing a cooler interface between the patient and wheelchair. A high-performance stretch cover improves moisture evaporation, enhancing APEX™ design features.

Highlights

• Wedge design helps prevent forward sliding.
• Innovative APEX design cools and reduces body interface pressure.
• Dual density foam layers provide a soft top entry layer promoting direct interface with cooling gel-pod and a higher density base layer for support and pressure distribution.
• Dual chambered cooling gel-pod reduces gel migration and dissipates metabolic heat, continuously maintaining a cool interface between the body and cushion.
• Available four chambered gel-pod minimizes gel migration in the area of highest pressure.
• High-performance pressure reducing fabric promotes healing via active evaporation of moisture and cooling at patient pressure points. Antimicrobial, water-resistant and mildew-resistant.
• Aggressive non-slip bottom with easy to attach quick-release straps keep cushion in place.
• Meets CA 117-2013 standards.

Recommended Use

Patients at risk for pressure injuries, requiring posture support, that are inclined to slide forward.
