positioning or growth in the width of the Cushion.
• Lateral Thigh Supports (abductors) to prevent
excessive abduction or spreading of the legs or to
provide width adjustment for the Cushion.
• Mini Fluid Supplement Pads to compensate for a non-
fixed lean or for added pressure relief and comfort.
• A variety of Medial Thigh Supports (abductors) for
increased leg separation.
• A 1/2" (1 cm) Well Build-up (not shown) to decrease
hip flexion for individuals with limited range of motion.

CHECKING FOR BOTTOMING OUT
The standard JAY GS Cushion has less fluid than
the JAY J2 Cushion because it is designed primarily
®
for posture, comfort, and control of abnormal tone. If
the client is at high risk of skin breakdown, utilize the
Pressure Relief Pad.
CAUTION:
Failure to check the Pressure Relief Pad for bottoming out
can result in skin redness or skin breakdown.
Maximum User Weight: 150 kg for all sizes
To evaluate for bottoming out, (Pressure Relief Pad only):
• Place the client on the cushion without the cover, for
two minutes.
• Lift the client off the cushion, trying not to disturb
the fluid. Examine the points where the ischials
(seatbones) and coccyx (tailbone) were positioned.
• If there is 1/2" (1 cm) or less of fluid between the
bottom of the depression and the base, extra fluid is
needed. Fluid supplement pads for this purpose are
available through your local supplier.
• For 10" (25 cm), 12" (30 cm), and 14" (36 cm), GS
Cushions, utilize Mini Fluid Supplement Pads.
• For 16" (40 cm) and 18" (46 cm), GS Cushions, utilize
Standard Fluid Supplement Pads.
• To use the Fluid Supplement Pads, place them along
the side of the well, under the Pressure Relief Pad.
• Replace fluid pad over them and re-evaluate.
CAUTION:
• The clinical indicator for tissue breakdown is skin
redness.
• Periodically check the skin for redness.
• If skin redness occurs, discontinue the use of
the Cushion and consult your doctor or therapist
immediately.
