More Details

Outer cover
* Startex fabric is moisture resistant, high stretch, and breathable (cover also available in Nylon)
* Hook-and-loop fastener strips
* Lifting strap
* Zippered side pocket with easy pull zipper tab
* Optional Spacetex 4000U cover available for extra breathability.

Inner liner
* Highly flexible
* Provides an extra layer of moisture protection

Fluid sac
* Dual layer, sealed compartments
* Non-temperature sensitive, no kneading or maintenance required
* Ab/adductor contour promotes comfortable midline position

Foam base
* Anatomically contoured to assist with pelvic support and positioning
* Anti-microbial and odour protection
* Pre-ischial contour helps reduce sliding
* Trochanteric shelf promotes level pelvis and lateral stability
* Extended rear cushion radius helps prevent posterior pelvic tilt
* Waterfall front edge accommodates tight hamstrings and/or foot propulsion

Option Details
Modification:
* Modifications are available for leg length discrepancy and depth reductions
* Outer cover tailored to fit

Libra Fit Kit Accessories:
* Lateral wedges (creates extra depth of contour)
* Tapered wedges (to enhance adductor support and/or address pelvic rotation/obliquity)
* Anterior seat wedges (enhances pre-ischial seat contour to prevent sliding)
* Hemi wedge (for accommodation of hip flexion limitations, foot propulsion)
* Fluid supplement (strap attachment for targeted application)
* Abductor (to promote midline leg position)

Considerations

* All cushions must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct choice and depth of foam, correct inflation level) , a different product may need to be considered.
* The gel cells or fluid on the top layer of the cushion can be punctured
* Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front.
* It is advisable that a health professional be consulted when considering a suitable pressure care product.

Standards

Standards
Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate. For more information about standards also see

Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au
