The gel foam cushion delivers advanced pressure care through its innovative viscous gel bladder design. Built with high-density polyurethane foam base, this cushion redistributes pressure effectively while maintaining stable support.
Advanced Pressure Care for Ultimate Comfort
For individuals who spend significant time in a wheelchair or armchair, effective pressure comfort is not just about comfort—it’s essential for skin health. The risk of developing pressure sores is a serious concern that requires a specialised seating solution. The Drive DeVilbiss Gel-Foam Cushion is expertly engineered to meet this need. It combines a pressure-redistributing viscous gel bladder with a supportive foam base, creating a high-performance cushion that provides exceptional comfort and is ideal for users considered to be at high risk of pressure-related issues.
Superior Pressure Redistribution
The core of this cushion’s performance benefit is the viscous gel bladder located inside. This advanced gel is designed to mimic the body’s own fatty tissues, conforming perfectly to your shape and immersing bony prominences. This effectively redistributes pressure away from high-pressure points, such as the sacrum and ischial tuberosities. By spreading the user’s weight over a larger surface area, the gel provides effective support and significantly improves comfort during long periods of sitting.
Stable and Supportive Comfort
To ensure a stable and secure seating position, the gel bladder is encased in a high-density polyurethane foam. This foam base provides a firm, supportive foundation that prevents the user from “bottoming out,” ensuring the pressure-easing benefits of the gel are always effective. The combination of the soft, conforming gel and the stable foam base offers the perfect balance of comfort, support, and effective pressure care.
Designed for Safety and Practicality
The cushion is encased in a high-quality, multi-stretch, and vapour-permeable cover. The two-way stretch material helps to reduce shear and friction on the skin, while the waterproof and easy-to-clean surface is practical and hygienic for everyday use. The cover is also fire-retardant for added safety. To ensure a perfect match for individual user needs, the cushion is available in three different depths—2″, 3″, or 4″—allowing for different levels of immersion and support.
