Apex Core Wedge Pommel Gel-Foam Cushion With Firm Base

The APEX CORE™ Wedge Pommel Gel-Foam Cushion, for patients requiring hip positioning 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, hip positioning and/or inclined to slide forward.

Cushion Features:

• Wedge design helps prevent forward sliding.
