Q. What is the Supracor Stimulite Adjustable Contoured Elite Cushion designed for?
A. This cushion is designed for individuals who require advanced pressure relief, customizable postural support, and shear force reduction. It’s especially helpful for users at high risk of pressure sores or with complex seating needs.
Q. What makes this cushion “adjustable”?
A. The cushion includes removable honeycomb inserts beneath the ischial and sacral areas. This allows caregivers or clinicians to fine-tune pressure distribution and support based on the user's body shape, posture, or skin integrity needs.
Q. Who is this cushion best suited for?
A. It's ideal for wheelchair users with moderate to high risk of skin breakdown, or limited mobility. It’s also a great choice for users needing precise pressure management and positioning.
Q. How does the cushion help prevent pressure sores?
A. The adjustable inserts reduce pressure at high-risk areas, while the ventilated cells promote airflow and reduce moisture. These factors are essential for preventing skin breakdown and ulcers.
Q. Can I adjust the cushion myself at home?
A. While you can remove or adjust the inserts at home, we recommend working with a therapist or clinician to make sure it’s done properly for your individual needs.
Q. What sizes are available and how do I choose the right one?
A. The cushion comes in multiple widths and depths. Measure the seat pan of your wheelchair (width x depth) and choose the closest size. If you’re unsure, reach out to our support team for personalized assistance.
Q. Is it compatible with all wheelchair types?
A. Yes. It fits manual, power, and tilt-in-space wheelchairs. Just make sure the dimensions match your seating surface.
Q. Is this cushion waterproof or moisture-resistant?
A. The cushion is moisture-wicking and breathable, but not waterproof. It comes with a breathable, washable cover, and you can purchase a waterproof cover separately if needed for incontinence protection.
Q. How do I clean the cushion and cover?
A. The cover is machine washable, and the cushion can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Both are designed for easy cleaning and long-term durability.
