Increased Immersion and Envelopment
Particular emphasis is on the area that distributes pressure around the tissues that support the bony prominences. Deeper hexagonal shapes allow for increased immersion with better envelopment.
Surface Tension Reduction
The unique hexagonal foam shapes in the well reduce surface tension and increase envelopment around the ischia and coccyx. By only using one pleated cover, surface tension is reduced, providing better immersion into the well.
Pre-Contoured Shape
Cooperating with Georgia Tech to study anthropometrics, Axiom S has a properly designed pre-contoured shape. The appropriately contoured cushion supports the trochanters and femurs while redistributing the load to protect the ischial tuberosities and coccyx.
Feature Rich Cover
Axiom Ss innovative cover is aesthetically pleasing with functional benefits for both the client and caregiver. A water-resistant zipper and loop zipper pull make it simple to don and doff the cover while protecting the foam. There is an easy-to-reach front handle with utility loops for hanging accessories.
High-Quality Material
The base of Axiom S is constructed with high-IFD polyurethane foam. The cover is made with a 4-way stretch, water-resistant, pleated top layer with a skid-resistant bottom panel and high denier side panels. All material elements lead to a long-lasting, comfortable and functional product.
Patented Design
Pre-Contoured Shape
Axiom cushions are pre-contoured to facilitate loading the trochanters, decrease ischial loading and improve lateral stability.
Anthropometrics
We cooperated with Georgia Tech to study actual pelvic dimensions and other human measurements. This was critical to designing the cushion’s contours to fit the broad range of users properly.
Surface Tension Reduction
The ischial bladders rest directly under the outer layer of the cover. The super 4-way stretch Lycra outer cover material significantly reduces surface tension, providing better immersion.
