Ideal for a Range of Wheelchair Users

Clinical studies have long been concerned with overheating as a result of a range of different conditions, particularly those that require use of a wheelchair. All too often, intrusive techniques like ice packs, water sprays and water hoses are used to cool patients down, which tend to be inefficient and even degrading.

Indications that tend to makes patients overheat include the following:

• Cerebral palsy
• Inability to sweat because of certain medications
• Multiple sclerosis
• Other neurological conditions
• Spinal cord injury

Helps Patients Feel Comfortable

The zones that generate the most amount of heat on a wheelchair backrest have been identified and targeted. As a result, the WheelAir Battery Powered Cushion provides convection air cooling to where it's needed most. Evaporative cooling also occurs by wicking away the natural moisture created from the seated position and combining it with airflow, allowing your patient to feel as comfortable as possible throughout use.
