PA-VM-15 – SECURE WEDGE CUSHION WITH SAFETY ROLL AND STRAP

POSITION IN A WHEELCHAIR

Maintaining an incorrect sitting position in a wheelchair not only has a negative impact on the spine, but also carries the risk of many health complications, i.e. deformities or problems with breathing and blood flow. Due to muscle weakness or the incorrect fit of the wheelchair to the user, the user’s pelvis may move into an inappropriate position. The main problems faced by wheelchair users are: anterior pelvic tilt, posterior pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity leading to scoliosis and pelvic migration.

Pelvic migration is usually caused by weakened trunk muscles, as well as uncontrolled involuntary movements. This situation carries a high risk of falling and causing serious injury. In order to prevent the user from slipping out of the wheelchair, our anti-bedsores wedge cushion with safety roll and strap PA-VM-15 cushion will be of great help.

Product’s description

Anti-bedsore wheelchair cushion PA-VM-15 is a medical product with high-tech design. Made of skin-friendly, safe fabrics reduces the risk of slipping off the wheelchair.
PA-VM-15 seat cushion with safety roll and strap is made of two parts. The first is a seat element providing support for the sit bones and the second is a special roll under the thighs. In this way, the user’s lower limbs are kept slightly elevated, allowing them to stay in place. The roll provides excellent antimigration control and reduces the risk of falling.
The interior of the cushion is a high-quality format consisting of thermoplastic and polyurethane foam. The shape memory foam (thermoplastic) is used on the side of the user’s body, as it gently softens under the influence of the user’s body temperature and adapts perfectly to the user’s curves. In this way, it perfectly relieves the pressure on bony prominences and prevents pressure sores.

The bottom layer is a firmer polyurethane foam, which provides excellent cushioning during use and reduces the pressure from its aluminum components.

The cover of the PA-VM-15 anti-bedsores positioning cushion is made from a skin-friendly material. In addition, a layer of 3D knitted fabric is used on the contact side of the pillow with the user’s body, allowing full air flow of the skin and preventing skin lesions.

The cover zips up for easy washing.
What’s more, the PA-VM-15 wheelchair cushion has a positioning strap that can be attached to the backrest of the wheelchair or seat, further enhancing the positioning of the product in the seat.

Maintaining the correct seating position in a wheelchair is important for user’s health and safety and preventing pressure ulcers. The use of PA-VM-15 anti-bedsores wedge cushion with safety roll and strap helps to maintain the correct sitting position and reduces the risk of the user falling to a minimum.
