Wheelchair cushions are designed to provide extra support and protection for regular wheelchair users. The Visco-Tex cushion from Harley is designed for users who find themselves in the High Risk category: namely those who are sat in the same position on a daily basis for significant lengths of time. The lack of movement and subsequent restrictions mean that these people are at an increased risk of developing pressure sores or other complaints associated with periods of immobility. A base of polyurethane foam gives the cushion its grounding in stability and support. The visco elastic memory foam top layer provides the user with comfort and pressure relief by contouring to the user s body to provide continuous and even pressure distribution

The Alerta Sensaflex 250 is a high risk memory foam cushion which provides effective comfort, care and pressure redistribution for users in hospital, nursing and care home environments. To launder the cover in a washing machine, set the main wash to 65oC for no less than 10 minutes or 95 C for no less than 3 minutes. The cover can be tumble dried on low heat and the temperature must not exceed 60oC. The foam can be autoclaved at 134 C. 17x17x4"
