NY Ortho APEX Anti-Thrust Wheelchair Cooling Gel-Foam Cushion

Key Features

• Anti-thrust design
• Innovative APEX design
• Non-slip bottom with easy to attach quick-release straps

The NYOrtho APEX™ Amputee Gel-Foam Cushion provides support and stability for amputees. Anti-thrust design prevents forward ischial migration. Features an innovative design that chambers the dual gel-pod closer to the top of the cushion, providing a cooler interface between the patient and wheelchair. A high-performance stretch cover improves moisture evaporation, enhancing APEX™ design features. 

Highlights

• Anti-thrust design prevents forward ischial migration.
• Innovative APEX design cools and reduces body interface pressure.
• Dual density foam layers provide a soft top entry layer, promoting direct interface with cooling gel-pod and a higher density base layer for support and pressure distribution.
• Chambered dual gel-pod reduces gel migration and dissipates metabolic heat, continuously maintaining a cool interface between the body and cushion.
• 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 with easy to attach quick-release straps keep cushion in place.
• Meets CA 117-2013 standards.

Recommended Use

Patients at risk for pressure ulcers, requiring anterior buildup at mid-line to prevent forward ischial migrations.
