Why Should I Choose the DebbonAir Wheelchair Cushion?
Designed specifically to aid those with a low to medium risk of pressure sores, the DebbonAir Wheelchair cushion has a height of 1.8cm which prevents users from sinking through the cushion, and therefore provides a reliable, supportive layer between the user and the hard surface of their wheelchair. Unlike silicone cushions, it won't leak or deflate if it accidentally becomes cut, so the patient won't be left unsupported at any time.
What Size Should I Choose?
The DebbonAir Gel Wheelchair Pad is available in three different sizes, with each larger size providing more pressure reduction than the last. Refer to the table below for the dimensions of each size.
Size | Dimensions (approx. with cover) |
Small | 40 x 40 x 1.8 x 2cm |
Medium | 44 x 44 x 1.8 x 2cm |
Large | 50 x 50 x 1.8 x 2cm |
What Health Issues Can the DebbonAir Wheelchair Cushion Help With?
As it is thicker than most standard pressure relieving gel cushions, the DebbonAir Wheelchair Seat provides unparalleled relief for pressure-related discomfort or conditions such as pressure ulcers. Its 1.8cm height ensures you won't sink through the cushion, so the ischial bones in your gluteal area will be fully supported at all times.
Is This Wheelchair Cushion Suitable for Those at High Risk of Pressure Sores?
With a supportive gel construction and a low shearing design, this wheelchair pad can aid those at low to medium risk of pressure sores and friction related injuries, especially in those who have to sit for long periods of time. However it must be paired with a foam cushion before it will be suitable for those with a high risk of such complications.

How Does This Cushion Regulate Temperature?

Can I Wash This Cushion?
