Apex Core Wedge Gel-Foam Cushion

The APEX CORE™ Wedge Gel-Foam Cushion, for patients that are inclined to slide forward, combines a firm core foundation that eliminates hammocking with the superlative APEX™ innovative design that chambers the gel-pod closer to the top of the cushion providing a cooler interface between the patient and wheelchair. Internal dual gel chamber evenly maintains gel in the area of the highest pressure, preventing skin breakdown. A high-performance stretch cover, improves moisture evaporation and enhances the APEX™ design features.

RECOMMENDED USE: Patients at risk for pressure ulcers, requiring posture support and/or inclined to slide forward.

Cushion Features:
