Gel-U-Seat Skin Protection Gel/Foam Wheelchair Cushion 18" x 16"
A 3 inch gel and foam wheelchair cushion for pressure redistribution and skin protection, sized 18 inches wide by 16 inches deep.
Why this one
Dual-chamber gel
The gel bladder is split into two chambers, so the gel stays evenly spread across the cushion instead of pooling to one side under load.
Foam shell support
A high density foam shell surrounds the gel bladder, holding the cushion's shape and stopping it from bottoming out under sustained weight.
Cooler, drier sitting
The water resistant cover uses a low shear stretch fabric that reduces heat and moisture build-up against the skin during long periods of sitting.
Stays in place
Twelve inch tie straps secure the cushion to the wheelchair frame, so it stays put rather than shifting during transfers or propelling.
About this product
The Gel-U-Seat Skin Protection cushion pairs a high density foam shell with a dual chambered gel bladder. Together they redistribute weight across the whole seating surface instead of concentrating it at the bony points, which is what makes this a skin protection cushion rather than a comfort one.
Splitting the gel into two chambers stops it migrating to one side under load, so the cushion keeps working evenly through the day. The foam shell holds its shape and prevents bottoming out. The cover is water resistant and uses a low shear stretch fabric that reduces heat and moisture build-up against the skin, and 12 inch tie straps hold the cushion to the chair.
Sizing
This cushion is 3 inches thick and measures 18 inches wide by 16 inches deep. Cushion width should match the chair, so if you are unsure which size suits, or you want advice on cushion selection for someone at risk of skin breakdown, speak to us before ordering.
