Optimal Positioning for Paraplegics and Quadriplegics
Stimulite Contoured Cushions maintain their features with the new ability to be customised for changing physical and functional needs.
The multi-layered honeycomb is shaped into a subtle contour and specially engineered with soft and firm areas. A rear dish provides optimal pelvic positioning for improved posture and stability.
Stimulite® Contoured Cushion
For people requiring a higher pressure management level, the 3.5-inch thick ventilated Stimulite Contoured cushion, which weighs only 3.25 pounds, consists of multiple layers of flexible Stimulite honeycomb specifically engineered with soft and firm areas. A rear dish—featuring a “sweet spot,” a softer honeycomb that contains the ischial and coccyx—provides optimal pelvic positioning for improved posture and stability. Adductors and an abductor comfortably contain the legs without impairing transferring.
Stimulite® Contoured XS Cushion
For people with sensitive skin, the 3.25-inch thick, ventilated, extra-soft (XS) Stimulite Honeycomb wheelchair cushion
Stimulite Contoured XS cushion, which weighs only 3.25 pounds, features a soft top layer of specially engineered Stimulite honeycomb fused to two bottom layers. The honeycomb cells contour to the body shape, enabling bony protuberances to sink into the cushion while supporting the surrounding anatomy freely. A rear dish provides optimal pelvic positioning for improved posture and stability. Adductors and an abductor comfortably contain the legs without impairing transferring.
Special cuts are available. Machine washable. Tumble dryer safe.
What does a Stimulite Sling cushion mean?
The Stimulite™ Honeycomb Cushion (flat bottom) is designed for tensioned nylon sling chairs that sling only slightly. The Stimulite Sling Cushion (shaped bottom) is designed for high sling vinyl-type wheelchairs. This cushion is the same as the regular Stimulite cushion, except it has a shaped base. This shaped base neutralises the chair sling and eliminates the need to place a board or other rigid material on top of the sling.
Stimulite Sling Cushion
The Stimulite Sling Cushion is designed to address the challenges of using wheelchairs with sling seating. These seats often lack rigidity, causing uneven weight distribution and reduced support.
- Flat Bottom Design: For nylon sling chairs with slight tension.
- Shaped Bottom Design: For high-sling vinyl wheelchairs, featuring a contoured base that neutralises the sagging effect of the sling. This eliminates the need for additional rigid supports, like boards.
Both versions retain the pressure relief, ventilation, and durability benefits of standard Stimulite cushions, making them an excellent choice for users seeking comfort and support in sling-seated wheelchairs.
Stimulite XS Cushions (Extra Sensitive)
The Stimulite XS Cushion Series is tailored for individuals with sensitive skin, offering enhanced comfort and protection through a softer top layer of honeycomb. The cushion conforms to the body, minimising pressure and preventing tissue trauma.
