Action Pilot Cushion
Low profile Akton polymer pressure care cushion
The Action Pilot Cushion is a low-profile seating solution designed for pressure redistribution and shear reduction. It features a one-inch thick layer of Akton viscoelastic polymer that conforms to the user's body to provide immersion for bony prominences. This cushion is highly recommended for individuals at low to medium risk of skin breakdown who require durable and reliable support for prolonged sitting. Because the polymer does not displace under high-pressure areas, it ensures consistent protection without bottoming out, making it an excellent choice for active users who also need to perform foot-assisted propulsion or independent transfers.
The core of this cushion is made entirely from Akton viscoelastic polymer, a highly effective material for pressure care. This unique material allows for excellent immersion of bony prominences while preventing bottoming out. It does not flow or displace under weight, ensuring that the user maintains a stable and supported posture over long periods of time.
At just one inch thick, the low-profile construction provides essential skin protection without significantly altering the seat-to-floor height. This makes it an ideal choice for users who propel their wheelchair using their feet. Furthermore, the slim design facilitates easier and safer transfers for both the user and their caregivers.
In addition to redistributing downward pressure, the cushion is specifically designed to minimize shear and friction forces. These forces are a major contributing factor to the development of pressure ulcers and skin breakdown. By mitigating shear, the cushion helps preserve fragile skin integrity for individuals spending extended time in a seated position.
The cushion offers exceptional durability and requires minimal maintenance to keep it in optimal condition. The Akton polymer is leak-proof and will not bottom out, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability. It typically comes with an easy-to-clean cover that supports infection control and overall hygiene for the user.
