Wheelchair Air Cushions are used to disperse weight to avoid prolonged pressure. The Air Cushion consists of chambers inflated with air to fit each individual. Air can travel between sections, which allow the cushion to contour to the user as they move or be locked in individual chambers to provide specific pressure relief to specific areas. Air cushions provide good pressure distribution to each user when properly inflated. Air cushions are needed to be check regularly to ensure appropriate inflation levels and allow proper immersion when they sit.
