Self Adjusting Air Wheelchair & Coccyx CushionGRZ™

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The pressure redistribution properties of a seating surface with gel and foam integrated into one cushion are well documented. The foam shell of the Bariatric Gel Pro™ is constructed from high-density foam surrounding our segmented gel bladder. The bladder contains an aqueous gel to provide comfort and unsurpassed pressure redistribution. The Gel Pro™ Elite is utilized in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers can occur when the interface pressures between the body and the seating surface constrict blood flow. The aqueous, highly viscous gel provides for proper immersion and envelopment around the bony prominences which are most vulnerable to skin breakdown and discomfort. Gel-Pro™ foam / gel wheelchair cushions help to stabilize and maintain proper seating while reducing the “rocking” motion found in many other types of gel wheelchair cushions. Blue Chip's Bariatric Gel-Pro™ Elite wheelchair cushions are covered in a waterproof vinyl and low-shear nylon material. The cover material helps reduce heat and moisture build-up which can be a significant concern in the prevention of pressure ulcers. The cover materials are fluid and stain resistant, anti-microbial and meet California Technical Bulletin #117 for fire retardancy.
