JAY Lite Wheelchair Cushion

The Jay Lite stands out as an exceptionally lightweight cushion, designed especially for use with lightweight aluminum and titanium chairs. Its lightweight foam base provides crucial structure and support without adding unnecessary weight.

Key Features:

Lightweight Design:

Weighing only 1.6kg (3 1/2lb), the Jay Lite is ideal for ultra-lightweight chairs, like the Quickie Helium, offering structure and support without additional bulk.

1. 3DX Spacer Fabric:

   • Utilizing 3DX spacer fabric, the cushion enables effective heat and moisture dissipation, crucial for minimizing skin integrity issues. Even when compressed, the fabric maintains ventilation, allowing air to circulate and moisture to be wicked away.

2. Pelvic Loading Area:

   • The pelvic loading area is intelligently shaped and sized to distribute pressure under the pelvis, ensuring even distribution without excessive strain on the tissue between the pelvis, hips, and thighs.

3. Aesthetically Pleasing Design:

   • The Jay Lite cushion boasts a visually appealing design with a raised rubber name tag, a rubber non-stick bottom, and a custom carrying handle.

4. Postural Stability:

   • The pre-contoured OptiWell™ wall aligns with the pelvic bone structure, offering both lateral and forward/rearward stability by evenly distributing the load. The firmness layering of the foam base balances optimal comfort with stability. The soft EVA foam provides comfort, while the firm Oletex foam delivers positioning and support. A positioning version with two adductors and one abductor is also available to enhance postural stability.

5. Pressure Distribution:

   • The OptiWell™ pelvic loading area minimizes tension on tissue between bony prominences and significantly reduces reaction forces caused by foam compression. Ischial cut-outs and scooped reticulated foam inserts contribute to efficient pressure distribution.

6. Superior Heat and Moisture Dissipation:

   • The cushion cover's 3DX spacer fabric facilitates superior heat and moisture dissipation, reducing the risk of skin breakdown. Punched base and highly porous foam inserts further enhance airflow and moisture management.

With its advanced features, the Jay Lite cushion not only prioritizes comfort and stability but also addresses critical factors like heat dissipation and pressure distribution for an overall enhanced seating experience.
