Varilite Meridian Cushion

Description

The Varilite Meridian Cushion is recommended for individuals with motor and neurological dysfunction from spinal-cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and traumatic brain injury.  Low weight, comfortable and easy to use.  No pumps or accessories and no manipulation needed.

Features include:

• Air and Foam floatation
  • functional areas are created by three types of foam: soft foam for the decubitus-sensitive area of the ITs; medium foam for the thigh trough, pelvic bucketing and pre-ischial bar; and firm foam for the perimeter and the medial thigh separator.
• Dual-Chambers
  • front and rear chambers for independent adjustment of pelvis and thighs
• Positioning Supports to improve stability (important for users with compromised sitting balance or who transfer frequently)
  • multi-stiffness foam provides support as the user is immersed in the cushion. Medial and lateral supports minimize internal and external lower extremity rotation. Pelvic bucketing and a pre-ischial ridge help maintain pelvic position, and thigh troughs promote a neutral femoral position.
• Two way air valve for adjusting air volume whilst sitting:
  • open the right valve to release air from the pelvic chamber
  • open the left valve to release air from the thigh chamber
• Cover choice:
  • mesh cover
  • incontinence cover with breathable four-way-stretch material
• Wedge optional as an accessory – modifiable closed-cell foam wedge reduces the seat-to-back angle, which increases the weight-bearing load on the back of the thighs and decreases the load on the buttocks. The 2 inch (5 cm) tapered wedge trims easily for custom fitting to meet individual needs.
