Seating & Positioning

EQUAL PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION AND PERFECT SUPPORT FOR THE ASYMMETRIC BODY

The Adjuster is extremely suitable for use with asymmetric body contours and amputations. It automatically manages small obliquities and is individually adjustable to support more extreme asymmetry. When you are looking for a high level of comfort, optimal skin protection and stability: the Vicair Adjuster is always a safe choice. The design of this wheelchair cushion allows total immersion, to redistribute pressure equally. At the same time it prevents you from sliding forward. As a result the Adjuster offers you optimal protection against skin breakdown.

The Savant Headrest™ is a new and unique support for the head. It is cool, light-weight and can easily be shaped by hand. The gel pads give soft, customized head support. A perfect fit!

It provides head support at three levels on the head to control lateral flexion and rotation. A headband can be used for anterior head support.

- "Honeycomb" cell distribution optimises the contact surface, thus providing maximum stability and pressure sore prevention

- Two compartments provide greater patient stability, thus reducing the effect of friction and shearing

- Laxprene cushion, greater flexibility, elasticity and resistance-to-tearing than neoprenes and polychloroprenes, thus providing the cushion with optimal durability

- The only cushion provided with its own new electronic manometer, for more precise inflation, therefore greater efficacy

- 60mm high profile cushion

The S5 Cushion is a soft comfortable Fluid “Cluster Gel” cushion which suits wheelchair users who do not have postural asymmetries & who do not require a slim cushion. With its soft comfortable feel, it is also an excellent choice for aged care.

Axiom SP Visco is designed to provide increased immersion, allowing the trochanters to bear an effective load. This improves stability by widening the base of support and reduces the load the tissue that supports the Ischial Tuberosities must bear. A thick section of a specially designed Viscoelastic foam deforms to immerse and envelop the Ischial Tuberosities. Using anthropometric design, this section also has two small areas where foam is removed under the Ischial Tuberosities to facilitate immersion. Viscoelastic material is both viscous (changes shape slowly) and elastic (it returns to its original shape). It deforms and returns to shape very slowly. There is a significant lag between when you deform a viscoelastic foam and when it returns to shape. Because energy is effectively absorbed and dissipated during the time lag there is less reaction force pushing back after deformation.
