Key Features

• Wedge design
• Coccyx cutout
• Internal gel-pod

The NYOrtho WaveForm Wedge Gel-Foam Cushion is designed to complement the body’s natural form and movement. As the name implies, the waveform-inspired design conforms to the body’s shape more effectively, providing better support. Designed for patients inclined to slide forward, a waterfall front curves to the natural shape of the leg trough while lateral and medial leg contours promote a slight leg abduction. A coccyx cutout reduces pressure in the affected area.

Highlights

• Wedge design prevents forward sliding.
• Medial thigh separator positions the legs, providing slight abduction for enhanced comfort and stability.
• Coccyx cutout alleviates pressure on the tailbone area, increasing comfort during prolonged periods of sitting.
• Waterfall front slopes downward, offering additional comfort for the legs and contributing to a more natural seated position.
• Internal gel-pod minimizes gel migration in the area of highest pressure and dissipates metabolic heat, continuously maintaining a cool interface between the body and cushion.
• Dual density foam layers provides a soft visco top entry layer promoting direct interface with cooling gel-pod and a higher density base layer for support and pressure distribution.
• High-performance pressure reducing fabric promotes healing via active evaporation of moisture and cooling at patient pressure points. Antimicrobial, water-resistant and mildew-resistant.
• Aggressive non-slip bottom ensures secure placement on the wheelchair, enhancing safety and usability.
• Meets CA 117-2013 standards.
  

Recommended Use

Patients at risk for pressure injuries, requiring posture support, that are inclined to slide forward.
