If you are depending on wheelchair mobility as a part of your life, your patient's life, or a loved one's life, whether for a short time or a lifetime, you're going to want it to be a comfortable experience. Wheelchair mobility can play a major role in rehabilitation for some and as a mode of daily living for others. But more than the wheelchair itself, it is the wheelchair cushions that can make the wheelchair experience a comfortable or a miserable experience for those depending on wheelchairs. This is why Rehabmart offers three superior quality cushions that not only offer comfort, they also improve the lives of those depending on wheelchair mobility.

 
For children and adults, the Comfort Company's Vector Wheelchair Cushion with its patented AWARD WINNING Vicair® Technology "Comfort Cells" allow cushions to be customized to adapt to each user's individual body contours by adding or removing comfort cells as needed. Its newly designed softer feel allows for deep immersion to maintain stability and redistribute pressure for an even more comfortable experience than ever before. Adjustable lateral leg contours promote postural alignment, while the uniquely designed cover offers STRETCH-AIR FABRIC and COMFORT-TEK features that give this waterproof and easy to clean cushion breathable air transmission and heat reduction qualities that have been engineered for pressure relief, comfort and durability.

  

For the active client that requires mild to moderate positioning and is at low risk for skin breakdown, Sunrise Medical's lightweight Jay Active Cushion offers a pre-contoured foam with a JAY Flow™ fluid pad and AirExchange™ cover. This innovative design and technology increases stability and offers mild support to enhance sitting tolerance while the fluid segmented pads protects from skin shear allowing more ease with movement. The zero-maintenance, easy to wipe design dissipates heat and promotes airflow keeping the top surface and the client clean and dry. The choice of a breathable air exchange cover or a fluid-resistant incontinence cover is also available with the purchase of each Jay® Active Cushion.

 

For clients with a history of skin breakdown, the ROHO High Profile Air Cell Wheelchair Cushion is highly recommended. The unique and proven quality of the interconnecting cellular design provides a therapeutic benefit with dual compartments that can be independently adjusted from side to side or front to back to give the user the ultimate in stability and comfort. There is no weight limit with these cushions and they should be sized properly for each individual client.

ROHO's Dry Floatation Technology is also showcased in their High Profile Single Compartment Cushion that has been a market leader in skin protection for over 35 years. Maximizing circulation and pressure redistribution and minimizing tissue friction, this cushion offers a soft, pliable material with a performance standard cellular design that no other air filled cushion can match.

Make wheelchair mobility a much more comfortable experience with these high quality wheelchair cushion choices from Rehabmart. Comfort and proper positioning leads to better health and an enhanced sense of mental well-being and outlook for any user. And that just makes daily life better for everyone!
