Those who sit for a long time in wheelchairs might suffer from pressure ulcers and reduced blood rotation. To prevent this problem, an Air Cushion can be used. Air wheelchair cushion is used to help distribute the weight of the user more evenly across the cushion, reducing the risk of pressure sores and skin breakdown. It consists of chambers inflated with air to fit each individual. Air can travel between sections, which allows 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 cushion provides good pressure distribution to each user when properly inflated and need to be checked regularly to ensure appropriate inflation levels and allow proper immersion while sitting. HPFY offers inflatable seat cushions from top manufacturers like The Roho Group, The Comfort Company, Skil Care Corp, and many others.

Buying Guide for Air Wheelchair Cushions

Height - Inflatable seat cushion height should be appropriate so that the patient's legs properly rest on the footplate and do not hang in mid-air. Lower height also allows easy transfers from bed or chair.
Breathability - Body temperature and moisture may negatively affect the skin. Make Sure to buy breathable seat cushions that allow good airflow for comfort and safety.
Non-slippery - People with limited mobility use wheelchairs, requiring a firm grip on their seats for longer sitting. Make sure to get a wheelchair seat cushion that is non-slippery, has a firm grip, and allows safe sitting.
