More Details

Structure
Four separate sections of the Quadtro cushion are connected internally by an air transfer system. . With the Isoflo control open, the cushion is inflated through a central air valve. Stability is enhanced by locking the air into place in each of the four quadrants through the use of the Isoflo Control, eliminating side to side or front to back motion. It also allows for accommodation or correction of pelvic asymmetries.

Material
Flame resistant. Neoprene rubber. Separate air cells allow
air circulation to reach the surface of the skin and provide a cooling
environment.

Cover
* Universal Cushion Cover meets global flame retardancy standards
* Optional high stretch Lycra custom cover (item code SC) - supply the cushion model and size at the time of ordering. This cover does not meet the same level of flammability protection as the standard Universal Cover

Applications
This design assists with the correction of asymmetrical postures, and is useful where a user requires progressive seating. The manufacturers state that the cushion prevents and assists in the healing of pressure injuries. It is most effective for users:
* who need a high level of skin protection
* with asymmetrical postures
* who require progressive positioning
* who need a significant amount of postural support
* with poor to fair balance
* in tilt and/or recline systems
* who have a diagnosis that will change over time .
They have been found beneficial to clients with pelvic-obliquity, scoliosis, anterior / posterior rotation of the pelvis, amputation and any combination of these postural problems.
* The positioning should be done gradually over a period of days.
