Use and Applicaon of the Pressure EEZ®
Posture Perfect™ Wheelchair Cushion
The Posture Perfect™ Cushion is uniquely
designed using a high resilient (HR), custom molded
foam core that posions the body in the correct
seang posture, provides a leg abducon post to
prevent hip rotaon and abrasion. The Posture
Perfect™ Cushion is strategically contoured to
provide opmum seang posture. Posture Perfect™
Cushions remain cool when combined with the
breathable moisture proof cover.
Remember, no cushion can eliminate seang pressure or totally prevent
pressure sores, therefore, you should regularly check for skin redness as a
noted indicator of ssue breakdown. The Posture Perfect™ Cushion may be
used in a sling seat wheelchair or with a solid seat insert.
The Posture Perfect™ Cushion has a moisture resistant cover designed to
repel fluids but it is not intended as an inconnent cushion nor should it be
submerged in water or used as a bathtub seang product. Replacement
covers are available from your Hudson dealer.
Size Selecon of the Pressure EEZ®
Posture Perfect™ Wheelchair Cushion
Simply select the cushion that would match the width of your hips when
seated. Cushion size should not be determined by the wheelchair seat
width. Improper cushion fit will affect the performance of pressure
distribuon of the cushion and its proper posioning support of the body.
The length of the cushion should be determined by placing the cushion
at the back of the wheelchair while the length extends to the front within 1"
to 2" from the back of the knees. The ischial tuberosies (sing bones)
should be centered in the seat in the center of the back seang area.
The footrest should be adjusted properly in order to enhance seang
comfort and help to lower peak seang pressures.
In order to prevent the Posture Perfect™ Cushion from sliding on the
wheelchair upholstery, especially during transfers, follow these instrucons:
Molded Foam Core with Progressive
Support Technology (PST)
Designed to contain the thighs and pelvis
in the correct seang posture. PST produces
the right degree of cushion firmness. Smaller,
lightweight clients receive a soer more
compliant cushion, average weight clients a
medium firmness and larger heavier clients
receive a firmer more supporve cushion.
The unique construcon of high resilient (HR)
molded foam provides maximum stabiliza-
on, posioning, pressure relief and correct
seang posture.
Protecve Inner Liner
Inner liner is a durable, so, sealed,
moisture proof membrane to provide protec-
on from inconnence and ease of cleaning.
Air vents permit evacuaon of air when
seated to provide comfort.
The Posture Perfect™ Cushion Cover
Outer cover is a removable, washable,
flame retardant, stretch polyester knit to
reduce interface pressure and shearing. It is
constructed with a vapor permeable moisture
proof urethane backing and a non-slip
boom for comfort and safety.
