Full Description

Varilite Meridian Wave Cushion is a dual-chamber, adjustable air and foam floatation skin protection cushion with a solid positioning base. Three different style of positioning base are available for individual positioning needs. Both the cushion and wave positioning support fits inside the tailored cushion cover.

Wave Contoured Positioning Wedge (CPW)

Lateral thigh supports position the lower extremities and prevent unwanted abduction of the thighs whereas medial thigh supports provide the correct amount of abduction to prevent unwanted adduction of the thighs. CPW increases the weight-bearing load on the back of the thighs and decreases the seat-to-back angle. The closed-cell CPW will not absorb fluid & is resistant to bacteria.

Wave Lateral Positioning Base (LPB)

Lateral pelvic supports are located posterior to the greater trochanters and provide lateral stability that maintains the pelvis in the center of the seat. Lateral thigh supports position the lower extremities and prevents unwanted abduction of the thighs. The Wave LPB provides a firm foundation for postural stability and discourages chair upholstery from slinging. The closed-cell LPB will not absorb fluid and is resistant to bacteria.

Wave Contoured Positioning Base

Provides a solid base of support and a high degree of pelvic & lower extremity lateral and medial positioning. Lateral pelvic supports are located posterior to the greater trochanters and provide lateral stability that maintains the pelvis in the center of the seat. Lateral thigh supports position the lower extremities and prevents unwanted abduction of the thighs. Medial thigh supports provides the correct amount of abduction to prevent unwanted adduction of the thighs. Wave CPB provides a firm foundation for postural stability & discourages chair upholstery from slinging. The closed-cell foam CPB will not absorb fluid and is resistant to bacteria.

Air-Foam floatation

Functional areas of meridian are created by 3 types of foam: soft foam for the decubitus-sensitive area of the ITs; medium foam for the thigh trough, pelvic bucketing and pre-ischial bar; and firm foam for the perimeter and medial thigh separator.
Valves release air to immerse the user in the foam, which conforms to the user and distributes the user’s weight over the surface of the cushion.
