More Details

Xact Individual may be suitable for people with an orthopedic / neurological injury or a congenital condition. It is also suitable for people who are unable to self propel / shift their weight or transfer and are at medium to high risk of developing pressure injuries.

The Action Polymer cube pad provides pressure relief and shear reduction.

Cover
The Body Smart Cover comes with the Soft Cushion. It features a griping front layer to help prevent slouching. Incontinent and replacement covers are also available.

Sizes
Optional sizes in 25mm increments in width and depth

A custom fabricated seat cushion is covered if the following criteria is met:

1 Patient meets all of the criteria for a prefabricated skin protection seat cushion or positioning seat cushion.

2 There is a comprehensive written evaluation by a licensed clinician, which clearly explains why a prefabricated seating system is not sufficient to meet the patient's seating and positioning needs.

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 on the top layer of the cushion can be punctured
Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front
