Popular brand name cushions pp. 20, 21, 24, 30, 31, 38-41 Open for use, cushion stays in place Closed for storage, cushion stays attached Cushions are often lost or misplaced when wheelchairs are stowed out of the way at night. The Stay-Put™ Cushion ends the worry of losing or misplacing cushions. It’s a new spin on traditional wheelchair cushions, adding a hinged center and fastening straps that secure under the sling seat. The result—a cushion that folds and stays with the wheelchair when closed for storage. When ready for patient use, simply open the wheelchair and the cushion is already attached, properly placed, and ready for use! BEFORE: Poor sitting tolerance increases risk of sliding out of seat AFTER: Sit-Straight maintains hips at 90°, neutral pelvis Sit-Straight™ Cushions combine a Wedge Cushion and Solid Seat Insert, creating an immediate positive change in posture. The patient sits in a proper posture without the tendency to slide forward in his/her chair, allowing participation in self-care and recreational activities. This cushion is also beneficial to caregivers, as it frees them from continually repositioning patients and helps eliminate the need for restraints to keep patients from falling out of the wheelchair. 7152 pp 2-11 Facility Cushions_auto_layer 4/28/14 2:40 PM Page 3 Economical Solutions (pp. 4, 5) Pressure Distribution (p. 8) Maximum Shear Reduction and Skin Protection (pp. 10, 11) Checkerboard Medium T-Foam™ Cushion, p. 8 General Purpose Economy Cushion, p. 4 Foam Cushions are a quick and inexpensive solution to conventional wheelchair sling seats, which provide little-to-no comfort or support, leading to poor sitting tolerance, slumped posture, pressure ulcers, and skin shear. Cushions by the Case: Stock up and save! This icon will be shown with cushions that are priced right for facilities. “Slow recovery” is the phenomenon that sets a T-Foam Cushion apart from other traditional foam wheelchair cushions. T-Foam retains its compressed shape long enough to allow the person’s capillary vessels to nourish tissues on the weight-bearing surface. When a person sitting on a T-Foam Cushion shifts or lifts their body even slightly, T-Foam then recovers its original shape. T-Foam’s open-cell structure permits air to circulate freely through the material to prevent heat buildup and perspiration. T-Foam is also fire-retardant, exceeding CAL 117 specifications. Our T-Foam cushions come with a removable stretch knit cover that won’t interfere with the skin-protecting qualities of the T-Foam and is easily launderable. Limit Forward Sliding (pp. 28, 29) T-Gel Cushion, p. 11 Smooth T-Gel Cushion, p. 11 Gel cushions minimize heat and improve sitting tolerance. We offer smooth or checkerboard T-Gel; the checkerboard version provides greater air circulation. The choice of gel is important because of the different benefits. Polymer gels are dense, rubber-like sheets of gel that mimic the skin-protecting properties of fatty tissue. They are far superior at minimizing friction and shear forces. Aqueous gels are viscous fluid and encased in a bladder and set atop of (or sandwiched between) foam layers. Aqueous gels offer moderate pressure relief and cooling comfort and are often more economical than polymer gels. AliMed T-Gel Cushions have a premium polymer gel pad covered in a removable stretch knit cover. Checkerboard T-Foam™ Cushion Combo, p. 6 Pommel Cushions help reduce the risk of adduction or internal rotation contracture, while limiting forward sliding in the wheelchair. All of our pommel cushions start with a convex base, filling the sling seat to create a level sitting surface, and promoting upright posture, improved comfort, and increased sitting tolerance. We also offer a Release Pommel Cushion, where the pommel drops away for easy patient transfers. 90° Wedge cushions are used to help prevent a wheelchair user Keep users’ hips properly from sliding forward positioned at 90º when seated in the chair (sacral in a reclined position sitting). The risks associated with sacral sitting include skin breakdown at the coccyx and thoracic regions, falls from the wheelchair, poor sitting tolerance, and loss of functional abilities. By positioning the pelvis in an anterior tilt with the knees slightly higher than the hips, a wedge decreases pressure on the sacrum and coccyx, and encourages improved breathing, better head control, and better positioning for self-feeding. Super Economy Gel Cushion, p. 10 Super Economy Gel Cushions are very economical utility gel foam cushions for any facility looking to combat potential pressure issues in a low- to moderate-risk population, and won’t break your budget. Convex Base Anti-Thrust—T-Gel version, p. 29 Anti-Thrust Positioning Cushions have a higher front surface and a lower rear surface to help prevent forward sliding in the wheelchair. The sloped region between the front and rear surfaces is positioned in front of the ischial tuberosities to keep the pelvis in a neutral position and help support upright sitting. Anti-thrust protection can be helpful when extensor tone is present. Antithrust cushions offer a comfortable slide-control alternative to pommel cushions, especially for male patients. Checkerboard T-Gel with Foam Integrated Wedge and Solid Seat Insert, p. 12 Specialty Gel-Topped Cushions feature an added layer of T-Gel that mimics fatty tissue, moving with the skin to reduce shear and redistribute pressure. The T-Gel top layer combines with integrated wedge and Solid Seat Insert to provide a flat cushion and avoid sacral seating.

What’s in a Foam Cushion? AliMed’s foam cushions come in a range of densities and with varying degrees of support. Compared to other materials, foam cushions are a quick, inexpensive solution that helps improve comfort, stability, and support that relieves pressure points of tissue breakdown that cause ulcers. Different foams are often used in combination, layered for their various properties of softness, evenly distributed support, and memory. AliMed offers four types of foam: Basic Foam (Polyfoam) Open-cell Polyfoam has interconnected, air-permeable cells that make it lightweight and flexible, with both durability and compressibility. A Polyfoam cushion bears weight while still maintaining its original shape. The comfort and support of a Polyfoam cushion varies depending on the foam density. Less-dense foam has a softer feel, but bottoms out more easily under greater weight. Denser foam offers less cushioning, but is more supportive. Polyfoam can be custom-cut to fit the needs of the user. For custom cushion ordering, see p. 16. Latex Foam Naturally derived from rubber, latex foam is known for its resilience. Among the most comfortable of cushions, it is made up of interconnecting air cells, which react to changes in position, sustaining a high comfort level. (See p. 5). Independent Cell Foam Easily distinguished by its checkerboard appearance, this cushion is made up of blocks of Polyfoam that independently act as springs, working to evenly distribute pressure away from sensitive, bony areas. The cuts between each cell maximize airflow and reduce friction against the skin. (See p. 6). T-Foam™ (Memory Foam) This more complex foam cushion has a higher viscosity and density than Polyfoam or latex foams, causing the “slow recovery” effect—it remains compressed temporarily when the user shifts his/her body weight, providing pressure relief on weight-bearing body tissue surfaces. This allows air circulation to reduce the buildup of body heat and reduces shock and shear forces. (See p. 8). ■ Basic foam General-Purpose Economy Cushions are basic foam seat cushions that can be used on a wheelchair or bedside chair to improve comfort and sitting tolerance. They are typically made of soft, spongy foam—similar to upholstered furniture—and are recommended for any user without skin integrity issues. Save money by reducing the number of cushions you need to stock—one cushion fits both 16"W and 18"W wheelchairs! Choose from two thicknesses, 2" or 3", and two cover options, Skin-Friendly Cloth or FluidProof Brushed Flocked (below).

The easy-care foam cells shift independently as the user moves; reducing friction against fragile skin. Spaces between the cells allow air circulation and heat reduction. Independent Cell Foam Cushions are readyto-use—no complex setup or maintenance. Selected cushions include durable nylon cover that resists incontinence and punctures, with ripstop properties that stop punctures from becoming tears, extending the life of the product. Cells adjust for uniform pressure distribution and shear reduction Independent-Cell Cushions Aircell cushions have long been touted as the leader in shear reduction and pressure relief, but the high cost, complex setup, and ongoing maintenance needs make them a poor choice for a general-purpose facility cushion. We created independent-cell foam cushions—a low-cost, easysetup product with many of the pressure- and shear-reducing attributes of an air-cell cushion. The 70+ foam cells offer uniform pressure distribution. The cells act as springs, adjusting to anatomical contours and minimizing pressure over bony prominences.

To ensure that these needs are met, AliMed offers cushions that are made with slow recovery T-Foam™ for reduced pressure points and added impact protection, or in a wedge style to help prevent sacral sitting. AliMed T-Foam Cushions recover their original shape at even the slightest shifting or movement of the patient’s body, reducing pressure points and pressure sores. When subjected to sudden impact, T-Foam absorbs up to 90% of impact shock and vibration. The foam’s open-cell structure provides better impact protection and pressure distribution than regular open-cell foam, so that air can circulate freely through the material to avoid heat buildup and perspiration. Wedge Cushions help prevent sacral seating by positioning the pelvis in an anterior tilt with the knees slightly higher than the hips. Pressure is now decreased on the sacrum and coccyx, and patients are now positioned for improved breathing, better head control, and better positioning for self-feeding. Wedge cushions can also be used to keep users’ hips properly positioned at 90° when seated in a reclined position. ■ Double T-Foam without bottoming out Deluxe T-Foam™ Combo™ Cushion Three 1" layers of foam. Top is conforming Soft T-Foam. Middle is Medium T-Foam. Base is firm high-density foam, which will not bottom out. Combined, these three layers create long-term comfort and weight distribution.

Gel cushions minimize heat, improve sitting tolerance, and are easily wiped clean. But not all gel cushions are created equal. There are two basic types of gels used in wheelchair cushions: aqueous (water-based) and elastomer (rubber-like) gels. Aqueous gels are viscous, must be encased in a plastic bag, and typically cost less than elastomer gels. Aqueous gels offer cooling comfort and, when coupled with foam, help redistribute pressure away from bony prominences.

T-Gel is an elastomer gel—a solid sheet of soft, rubber-like polymer that mimics fatty tissue. With typical cushions, excessive shear force leads to occlusion of blood flow, which is seen as one of the biggest contributing factors behind pressure sores and discomfort. But T-Gel moves with the skin to minimize the effects of skin-shearing and the risk of skin breakdown. T-Gel also won’t bottom out. Guaranteed not to leak or dry out if accidentally punctured or cut.

Checkerboard NM11 7152 pp 12-29 Specialty Cushions_auto_layer 4/23/14 4:24 PM Page 12 SPECIALTY CUSHIONS Wedge Cushions Reduce posterior tilt WEDGES Sacral sitting can occur if a wheelchair is too deep, too high, or uncomfortable. If the chair is too deep, the user will tend to slide forward into sacral sitting because they find it difficult to maintain the pelvis at the back of the chair. Sacral sitting is the most common result of poor seating provision, especially if the user cannot reposition themselves. A wedge cushion helps by positioning the pelvis in an anterior tilt with the knees slightly higher than the hips. This improved sitting posture decreases pressure on the sacrum and coccyx, and encourages improved breathing, better head control, and better positioning for self-feeding. Wedge cushions can also be used to keep users’ hips properly positioned at 90° when seated in a reclined position. 110° 90° Wipe-clean cover extends durability ■ Economical option ■ Reduces shear, pressure redistribution Basic Wedge Cushions This simple wedge design creates a comfortable sitting surface that discourages slouching and maximizes sitting tolerance.

The foam’s unique characteristics and remarkable temperature and compression-rate sensitivity led to their naming it T-Foam, or Tempur Foam (temperature foam). When NASA made T-Foam available to the public, AliMed was first to use the technology. For more than 35 years, AliMed has provided the widest selection of T-Foam products for medical professionals and their patients today. Why use T-Foam™? “Slow recovery” is the phenomenon that sets an AliMed T-Foam Cushion apart from other foam wheelchair cushions. T-Foam retains its compressed shape long enough to allow the user’s capillary vessels to nourish tissues on the weightbearing surface. When a person sitting on a T-Foam Cushion shifts or lifts their body even slightly, T-Foam then recovers its original shape. When subjected to sudden impact, T-Foam absorbs up to 90% of impact shock and vibration. Because the foam’s cells are interconnected so closely, T-Foam’s opencell structure provides better impact protection and pressure distribution than regular open-cell foam, and also permits air to circulate freely through the material to prevent heat buildup and perspiration. It is also fire-retardant, exceeding CAL 117 specifications. Basic T-Foam or Advanced Combinations Choose from our three firmness ratings of Basic T-Foam Cushions—Soft (T38), Medium (T41), or Hard (T47)—for optimal pressure distribution based on the weight of the user (see chart on p. 17). To help address more advanced needs, AliMed provides a selection of T-Foam cushion combinations specially designed to improve posture, provide maximum comfort, evenly distribute pressure, and help avoid bottoming out. T-Foam Cushions have black, breathable polyester knit covers with nonslip vinyl bottoms. ✓ Slow recovery offers even pressure distribution ✓ 3 firmness ratings and thicknesses for multiple applications T-Foam molds to the body’s contours to ensure optimal pressure distribution and help reduce painful pressure points T-Foam retains its compressed shape long enough for capillary vessels to nourish skin tissue Call 800-225-2610 Folding Cushions Customizing T-Foam p. 47 We can customize our T-Foam cushions for your needs!

T-GEL™ T-Gel is an elastomer gel—a solid sheet of soft, rubber-like polymer that mimics fatty tissue. With typical cushions, excessive shear force leads to occlusion of blood flow, which is seen as one of the biggest contributing factors behind pressure sores and discomfort. But T-Gel moves with the skin to minimize the effects of skin-shearing and the risk of skin breakdown. Guaranteed not to leak or dry out if accidentally punctured or cut.

Gel-encased cushions have a gel bladder encased within the foam and typically have two-tone covers. The two tones act as a visual reminder to staff/caregivers to regularly reposition patients in their wheelchairs. By establishing a schedule, staff members can determine whether the patient has been repositioned by which color is facing upward. Gel-topped cushions have the gel bladder sitting on top of the foam for lower contact pressure on fragile skin and a cooler surface to reduce perspiration and heat buildup. Positioning Gel/Foam Cushions (see pp. 20, 21) combine the comfort and skin-protecting benefits of traditional gel/foam cushions, but with added features that include a convex base, wedge design, and a contoured sitting surface to improve sitting posture and limit forward sliding.

Eliminate sacral sitting. SPECIALTY CUSHIONS ™ Sit-Straight Cushions How Sit-Straight™ works— Support starts with a stable base SIT-STRAIGHT ™ CUSHIONS A traditional level sitting surface causes the pelvis to rest in a neutral or posterior pelvic tilt. After a short time, the user’s buttocks slowly slide forward on the seat, resulting in sacral sitting. Poor posture can increase the risk of developing pressure sores. If the user slumps forward into sacral sitting or they have developed a scoliosis or pelvic rotation, it will increase pressure on the ischial tuberosities and sacrum. Sit-Straight™—Promotes proper posture Sit-Straight Cushions work by combining the convex base design of the SSI with a Wedge Cushion, creating a stable base to provide an immediate positive change in posture. The SSI creates a flat, stable base for the user, while the Wedge Cushion’s shape keeps patient’s hips positioned slightly lower than the knees, which creates an anterior pelvic tilt, limits forward sliding, and promotes an improved, more upright sitting posture. ✓ Creates a level sitting surface ✓ Reduces risk of skin breakdown ✓ Limits sliding and slouching ✓ Designed for sling-seat wheelchairs BEFORE: Poor sitting tolerance increases risk of sliding out of seat AFTER: Sit-Straight maintains hips at 90,° neutral pelvis Sit-Straight with built-in sensor pad ■ Positioning support and sensor pad in one Wedge Cus hion FAX 800.437.2966 800.225.2610 AliMed.com NM22 Solid Seat Insert The combination of a Wedge Cushion and Solid Seat Insert creates an immediate positive change in posture Sit-Straight™ Vinyl cover Wedge Cushion Shown with TR2 Alarm Alarm System combines the positioning benefits of our SitStraight™ Cushion with the fall-prevention benefits of an Sensor pad integrated sensor pad Foam cushion alarm system.

However, wheelchairs were designed to be propelled with two arms, and most stroke patients have full use of only one. Some patients can be taught to propel a wheelchair using one arm and one leg, but this only works for patients tall enough to reach the ground with their feet while seated. This can be a major inconvenience. Here are three approaches to solve this important problem. 1. Use an AliMed® Stroke Cushion The Stroke Cushion fills the sling-seat area and protects ischial tuberosities with shear-reducing gel. Stroke cushion nestles into the concave seat without raising the seat height. For added comfort, choose the Stroke Cushion with a T-Foam™ layer. See our selection at right. 2. Install a “drop seat” Not all wheelchairs are adjustable to hemi height. Drop seats replace wheelchair slingseats to lower the seating surface by approximately 2". Drop seats install on the chair frame and require the use of a wheelchair cushion for protection. When you install a drop seat, you won’t be able to fold the chair unless it is removed. See p. 36. 3. Buy a hemi-height wheelchair A hemi-height wheelchair has a seat that is 2" lower than a standard wheelchair. Average cost is $400 to $700. You’ll find hemi-chairs from all of the wheelchair manufacturers we represent. For a wide selection, visit AliMed.com.

Concave bottom fills a wheelchair’s sagging sling seat and allows user’s legs to reach the floor. Front waterfall edge reduces pressure at distal edges of thighs. Three options to choose from: Basic Stroke Cushion with SSI Gel insert in the rear of the SSI offers coccyx protection. Gel/cushion interface helps prevent window edema by creating a gradual pressure transition between the firmness of the extra low-profile SSI and the soft, pressure-relieving gel insert. T-Foam™ Stroke Cushion with SSI offers greater cushioning. Layer of 1"-thick, pressure-relieving Medium T-Foam Memory Foam lays over SSI for comfort and pressure distribution. Gel insert in the rear of the SSI offers coccyx protection. Pommel Stroke Cushion with SSI assists with hip abduction. For those experiencing a slight increase in hip adductor tone. Pommel keeps hips apart, improving alignment and minimizing tendency to slide forward.

Available in two flat-base models and two convex-base models. Convex Base Models have a contoured bottom that offers a low-profile solution to sagging wheelchair sling-seats by ensuring a level seating surface with minimal seat rise. Available in all-foam or foam with a T-Gel™ overlay to reduce friction and skin shear. Standard Flat Base for use on solid-surface seats. Flat Base with Solid Support Board provides level sitting surface for sling seats. Flat base models have nonslip vinyl incontinence-resistant cover with rear secure ties. Convex Base— T-Gel™ version ANTI-THRUST Anti-Thrust Positioning Cushions have a higher front surface and a lower rear surface to help prevent forward sliding in the wheelchair. The sloped region between the front and rear surfaces is positioned in front of the ischial tuberosities to keep the pelvis in a neutral position and help support upright sitting. Anti-thrust protection can be helpful when extensor tone is present. Anti-thrust cushions offer a comfortable slide-control alternative to pommel cushions, especially for male patients. AliMed Anti-Thrust Cushions Flat Base models have nonslip vinyl covers. Convex Base models ensure a level seating surface in wheelchairs with sagging sling seats, and are available in all foam or foam with T-Gel for reduced friction and skin shear.

The pommel also helps separate the knees to reduce skin shear and allow air to circulate. Pommel cushions are recommended for residents who require a supportive sitting surface and adduction control, who have a tendency to slide forward or require post-op hip replacement care, and those with lowerextremity spasticity. AliMed pommel cushions start with a convex base, filling the sling seat to create a level sitting surface and promote upright posture, improved comfort, and increased sitting tolerance. There are three options available to meet a range of patient needs: Solid Seat Insert with Pommel Choose from three different foam options. Standard foam is recommended for patients without skin integrity issues; T-Foam™ offers excellent pressure redistribution for those with low-to-moderate skin integrity issues; T-Gel offers optimal sheer reduction for moderaterisk individuals by mimicking fatty tissue and moving with the skin. Sit-Straight Wedge with Pommel Wedge shape positions knees slightly higher than hips to discourage forward migration of the pelvis, making them ideal for those with a tendency for forward sliding. Release Pommel Cushions Standard pommel cushions utilize a nonremovable pommel, which presents an obstacle when transferring the patient. Our revolutionary Release Pommel is attached to the cushion by a secure retaining strap. When it is time to transfer, the pommel can be released and dropped out of the way, allowing the transfer to be safely performed with only one assistant. Solid Seat Insert™ with Pommel An abduction wedge that also eliminates the effects of wheelchair seat sag. Firm fixed pommel resists collapse for secure positioning. Surfaces that contact user are padded. For enhanced cushioning and pressure distribution, select a model with a T-Foam™ or T-Gel™ layer covering the entire sitting surface. Built-in Solid Seat Insert is only 11⁄2" thick at the center, and fills sling-seat sag.

The base cushion has the 15°-20° sloped cutout at the front two-thirds of the cushion surface. The detachable wedge attaches securely on the non-operative side of the cushion, but can be removed and repositioned on the opposite side, depending on the individual patient needs. The wedge creates a flat sitting surface for the non-operative leg, and allows the distal end of the operative leg to rest slightly lower than the hip.

By lowering the sitting surface, you can use a higher-profile pressure-relieving cushion without sitting the patient too high in the chair, reducing fall risk. Drop seats allow user’s feet to reach the floor or foot supports for safer transfers, independent wheelchair mobility, and improved posture. Most drop seats can also be set at an incline (by adjusting rear straps lower than front straps), creating a wedge effect on a traditional flat cushion. Reclined position helps limit forward sliding, reducing falls and skin breakdown. ■ Reliable and best priced Alarmed drop seat Built-in trigger FAX 800.437.2966 Drop Seats with Alarm Adjustable drop seats feature an integrated 95-dB alarm that sounds when patient rises.

A sagging, curved sling-seat wheelchair, on the other hand, leaves the user with a poor sitting foundation. Common (yet less effective) approaches involve using a hard surface to bridge the sagging seat cavity. This means raising the user too high, resulting in poor stability. The SSI’s semirigid, self-cushioning foam block with a convex bottom and flat top effectively fills this cavity to achieve a flat sitting surface while maintaining a proper height. AliMed’s shaped-foam approach offers extra cushioning, minimum seat rise, and light weight (81⁄2 oz.). Seat flatness is significantly improved, limited only by the extent of original seat sag.

Over time, an individual sitting in a wheelchair is affected by muscle fatigue, balance deficits, and pressure on soft tissue—all of which can cause shifting or scooting on the seating surface. The end result is often a dangerous fall off the wheelchair cushion. This doesn’t have to happen! AliMed offers a number of different cushion options to help reduce the risk of forward sliding and wheelchair falls. Cushions with Alarms One strategy is to use a sensor-type alarm to alert staff when a patient begins sliding forward on the seat. When pressure is removed from the sitting surface of the cushion, the alarm unit sounds, letting the caregiver know that the patient needs help to reposition. :: For more Fall Monitors No-slip sensor pad and cushion in one Sensor Cushion Alarm Sensor Cushion and Alarm Systems are comfortable foam wheelchair cushions that double as sensor pads. Pressure-sensitive pad is embedded in 3"-thick, fire-retardant, cushioning foam and is inherently nonslip. Alarm alerts caregiver when patient begins to get out of wheelchair, helping prevent falls. Cushion fits both 16" and 18"W chairs. Upholstered in black, waterproof vinyl with two ties for attachment.

The wedge design and flat sitting surface encourage upright sitting and decrease the tendency to slide forward on the seat surface. For added protection, a sensor pad is embedded within the foam of the cushion to detect when weight is lifted off the seat surface. And because the pad is embedded, there is no need to worry about a sensor pad slipping off the cushion.

A cushion design that is higher in the front and lower in the back uses natural body mechanics to do so by placing the knees slightly higher than the hips. This position naturally tips the pelvis slightly forward, decreasing the tendency to slouch and slide forward on the seat cushion. There are three basic cushion designs that achieve this: A basic wedge, a pommel, and an anti-thrust. Wedge Cushions come in all shapes and configurations, but the basic principle is the same— the front-to-back slope encourages an anterior pelvic tilt. Wedge cushions also lend themselves well to modifications that assist in skin protection. Options include coccyx cutouts, gel toppers, and contoured cushion surfaces. Pommel Cushions work differently. They use a center pommel at the front of the cushion that physically blocks the user from sliding forward. Pommel cushions have the added benefit of positioning the hips in slight abduction for patients at risk for developing hip adduction contracture secondary to fracture or abnormal tone issues. Our Sit-Straight™ Wedge with Pommel combines the wedge and pommel designs for added benefit. Anti-Thrust Cushions use a similar design concept to a wedge, but are more effective than a straight wedge at reducing forward sliding. They utilize a quick slope in height from a high flat surface in the front to a lower flat surface in the rear. The sloped region (known as the pre-ischial ridge) is placed anterior to the ischial tuberosities to keep the pelvis in neutral and prevent forward migration. Anti-Thrust cushions are ideal for patients who actively push their hips forward on the seat, and are a good alternative to pommel cushions for many men and heavier women. Other considerations When choosing any of these cushions, consider a flat or convex (solid seat insert) base, the cushion material (foam type and density, or gel), and cover material. If you are fitting the cushion for a sling seat wheelchair, a convex base and nonslip cover fabric with rear safety ties are always a good bet. All of our wedge, pommel, and anti-thrust cushions come in flat or convex base models and most have rear safety ties.
