The soft Elasto-Gel lets your body sink into the gel with gentle resistance. It is like sitting on thousands of tiny balloons which gently push back to hold your body weight.

Reduced pressure allows better circulation of blood to all parts of the body.

Elasto-Gel wheelchair cushions are uniquely designed to reduce pressure and to assure correct positioning. The combination of a special resilient foam and the Elasto-Gel sheet allows efficient weight disbursement of ischials and coccyx. In addition Elasto-Gel wheelchair cushions help maintain a cool temperature and have vapor transmission properties to help keep the body dry and comfortable. Pressure mapping shows the Elasto-Gel Wheelchair Cushion to be extremely effective in consistent effective pressure relief.

An expanded PVC plastic insert (a board) is included. The insert is used to put in the bottom of the wheelchair or inserted into the cushion cover (under the cushion) to help prevent the hammock or sinking effect of your cushion. Having a stable base will provide stability and help prevent leg rotation.
