Protekt Gel Wedge

This cushion is uniquely designed with a therapeutic wedge shape to stabilize patients and prevent forward sliding, a common issue in wheelchairs. Available with or without an integrated pommel for advanced positioning, it combines a high-density foam base with a non-migrating gel bladder, delivering superior pressure relief while providing a firm, supportive foundation to eliminate the “hammocking” effect of standard sling seats. This makes it an ideal choice for the prevention and treatment of pressure sores.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Therapeutic Wedge Design: The integrated wedge shape promotes proper pelvic tilt and seating posture, actively helping to prevent the user from sliding forward in the chair for enhanced safety and stability.
• Optional Pommel Positioning: The version with an integrated pommel provides advanced support to promote proper hip positioning and keep the thighs separated, ensuring ideal alignment and stability for enhanced posture control.
• Anti-Hammocking Base: Features a firm, high-density foam foundation that counters the sag of standard sling seats, increasing stability and ensuring a flat, comfortable seating surface.
• Non-Migrating Gel Technology: The gel bladder allows for deep immersion and excellent pressure redistribution, with a specialized design to eliminate gel migration for consistent therapeutic coverage.
• Enhanced Comfort and Stability: High-density polyurethane foam increases overall stability and comfort, while the gel layer reduces the risk of skin/soft tissue breakdown.
• Protective Cover & Security: Comes with a comfortable, breathable, and fluid-resistant stretch nylon cover. Includes safety buckles to securely attach the cushion to the wheelchair, ensuring it remains in the correct position.
