to be used as described in this manual. Please read the whole manual before use.
The cushion consists of the following parts:
Inner cover
The inner cover is made up of zippered compartments. The number and shape of
the compartments depends on the cushion model. Each compartment is filled with a
specific number of triangular, air filled SmartCells™.
Outer cover
Two types of outer cover are available:
• Comfair, made of breathable fabric
• Incontinence, made of waterproof incontinence-resistant material
Both cover types have an anti-slip bottom surface and a two-way stretchable top
surface. As the bottom of the cover is also provided with strips of Velcro tape, it is
possible to fixate the cushion onto the wheelchair seat.
ASSEMBLY
Checking the cushion size
Together with your therapist or dealer, make sure the cushion fits the dimensions of
your body and your wheelchair.
Width: The cushion should match the width of the wheelchair seat. If your wheelchair
has armrests or side-guards that are capable of containing the cushion, the cushion
may be up to 2cm (0.8") wider.
Make sure the cushion cannot interfere with the wheel spokes.
Depth: The cushion should match the length of the wheelchair seat, or be up to 2.5cm
(1") longer. If the cushion is longer than that, we recommend the insertion of a solid
seat base underneath the inner cushion, inside the outer cover.
Fitting the cushion in the outer cover
• Check if the dimensions of the outer cover matches the dimension of the cushion.
• Remove the clear plastic wrapping.
• Fully open the zipper in the outer cover.
• Insert the inner cushion in the outer cover.
• Pass the loop through the eyelet in the bottom panel of the outer cover (fig. A).
• Close the zipper in the outer cover. Make sure not to damage the inner cover.
• Always use the cushion with the outer cover in place.
