JAY ION CUSHION
The JAY Ion is designed with the benefits of skin protection and positioning
in a lightweight, comfortable and low-maintenance design. The JAY Ion
incorporates an antimicrobial outer cover, a moisture resistant inner cover
and a dual layer foam base.
The JAY Ion helps to provide pressure and shear reduction which may help
reduce the incidence of decubitus ulcers. The cushion is intended to be
comfortable and does not restrict movement, allowing the user to change
positions on the cushion.
The maximum user weight for this product is 300 lbs. for 14" to 21" widths
and 500 lbs. for 22" to 24" widths.
JAY ION COMPONENTS
FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING CUSHION
Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the seated position.The
cushion length should extend to within 1" - 2" (2.5cm - 5cm) from the back
of the knees. Place the cushion to the back of the wheelchair with the
pelvic loading area toward the rear. When fit correctly, your hips should be
to the back of the chair. Your ischials (seat bones) should be centered in the
rear of the cushion. Proper footrest adjustment may enhance sitting com-
fort and help lower peak sitting pressures. Adjust the footrests so your legs
rest firmly but comfortably on the cushion.
Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat upholstery. Stretched
upholstery does not provide adequate support for the cushion and improp-
er positioning may result. Replace stretched upholstery or purchase the JAY
Adjustable Solid Seat.
Avoid using overly stretched backrest upholstery. Stretched back upholstery
does not provide adequate support for the body and improper positioning
may result. Replace stretched backrest upholstery or purchase a back sup-
port product from Sunrise that is appropriate for you. Contact an author-
ized supplier for a free demonstration of these products.
