Patients at risk for pressure injuries, requiring posture support and/or hip positioning that are inclined to slide forward.
NYOrtho Wedge Pommel Gel-Foam Wheelchair Cushions, designed for patients requiring hip positioning and to prevent forward sliding, help prevent pressure injuries, improve patient comfort and correct patient positioning. Features a high-performance stretch cover that improves moisture evaporation with an aggressive non-slip bottom keeping the cushion firmly in place. All wheelchair cushions are customizable in design and size - any custom size you desire. The sizes listed below are only a portion of the many standard sizes available.
Features:
- Wedge shape helps prevent forward sliding.

- Dual density foam layers provide a medium top entry layer promoting proper envelopment and a higher density base layer for continuous support and pressure distribution.
- A dual chambered gel-pod reduces gel migration and dissipates metabolic heat, continuously maintaining a cool interface between the body and cushion.
- High performance pressure reducing fabric promotes healing via active evaporation of moisture and cooling at patient pressure points. Antimicrobial, water-resistant and mildew-resistant.
