More Information

Wheelchair Users and Pressure
Wheelchair users spend a majority of their time in a sitting position, which means that almost half of their body weight is supported by the seat area. When the seat area is supporting that much weight, a high amount of force is placed on that area of the body. This can cause changes in spinal alignment, as well as pressure sores.

Wheelchair Users and Shear Force
Another risk associated with prolonged sitting in a wheelchair is shear force which happens when the wheelchair user slides forward in their wheelchair. This movement compromises skin integrity and causes pressure sores as well.

Importance of Using a Wheelchair Cushion
To redistribute pressure, wound care clinicians recommend a properly fitted wheelchair as well as a wheelchair cushion. Choosing an appropriate wheelchair cushion is vital to maintaining the wheelchair user's health.

Foam Technology
Mason Medical's Gel-U-Seat Lite Wheelchair Cushion is made with high density foam that holds its shape and provides postural stability to the wheelchair user. The cushion adapts to each wheelchair user's individual body shape and redistributes pressure evenly across the cushion.

Gel Technology
The Mason Medical's Gel-U-Seat Lite Wheelchair Cushion also uses gel in its design to conforms to pressure and provides extra comfort.

Low Shear Nylon
The Gel-U-Seat Lite 2 includes a soft waterproof nylon cover that reduces friction placed on the seating area. The cover includes a zipper that allows for removal from the wheelchair cushion for cleaning purposes. To keep the wheelchair cushion firmly in place while sitting or transferring, 12" tie straps are included on the cover.

The Gel-U-Seat Lite 2 meets flammability standard TB117.
