2 Product description

The wheelchair seat cushion is used as a decubitus prophylaxis. It provides good pressure redis­
tribution; the 476C00=SK65/8/9* optimally reduces shear forces.
The seating surface consists of an anatomically shaped rest suspension foam base (see fig. 3). In
the 476C00=SK65/8/9*, LiquiCell
base distributes pressure over the largest possible surface area, thereby reducing pressure
points. The seat cushion provides optimal postural stability and damping due to the anatomically
shaped recesses for positioning the thighs and the ischium bone (see fig. 3, items 4, 3).
The foam base and LiquiCell
ion and are protected by a liquid-repellent cover (see fig. 1, item 2, see fig. 2, item 2).
The components of the wheelchair seat cushion have the following functions:
