Q. What is the difference between the Acta-Embrace and the Acta-Embrace
ATI cushions?
A. The Acta-Embrace cushion offers contoured foam support for moderate
positioning needs. The Acta-Embrace ATI adds a moldable ATI base that can be
custom-shaped for advanced positioning and postural asymmetries, making it ideal
for users needing personalized support.
Q. How does the anti-thrust design of the Acta-Embrace ATI Cushion benefit
the user?
A. The anti-thrust design discourages forward movement of the pelvis,
helping users maintain an upright and stable seated posture, which is essential
for comfort and safety.
Q. Does the Acta-Embrace ATI Cushion offer pressure relief for skin
protection?
A. Absolutely. The cushion uses high-resiliency foam combined with
breathable covers to manage pressure and moisture effectively. This promotes
skin health, reduces the risk of pressure sores, and keeps users more
comfortable during extended periods of wheelchair use.
Q. What is GlideWear technology, and how does it help?
A. GlideWear reduces shear forces, improves microclimate control, and
enhances comfort by minimizing friction.
Q. How does this cushion help with posture and stability?
A. Deep lateral and medial leg contours help with postural alignment, while
tapered leg adductors provide additional support.
Q. How should I clean and maintain the Acta-Embrace ATI Cushion?
A. The cushion’s cover can be removed and machine-washed according to the
care label instructions. The internal foam and ATI base should be spot-cleaned
with mild soap and water. Regular maintenance keeps the cushion performing well
and prolongs its lifespan.
Q. Who is this Acta-Embrace ATI Anti-Thrust Cushion suitable for?
A. This foam wheelchair cushion is ideal for users who need enhanced pelvic stability, experience postural asymmetries, or are at risk of sliding forward in the wheelchair. It's also appropriate for users requiring custom contouring for long-term comfort and skin protection.
Q. Which cover options are available with this cushion?
A. The cushion is available with either a Comfort-Tek cover or a Stretch-Air cover, both designed for comfort and hygiene.
- Comfort-Tek: A smooth, easy-to-clean material with a fluid-resistant surface and antimicrobial properties. Ideal for easy maintenance and moisture control.
- Stretch-Air: A breathable, stretch fabric that promotes air flow and reduces heat build-up, perfect for enhancing skin protection and comfort.
