Therapists recommend the Reflex for clients who are at
moderate risk of skin breakdown. Therapists value the Reflex because the set
amount of immersion conforms to clients body, providing comfort and added
stability. The Reflex is ideal for nursing homes, hospitals and other clinical
environments where an effective, low maintenance skin protection wheelchair
cushion is required.
Users and caregivers value the simplicity and ease
of use of the Reflex. The ultra-lightweight design of the Reflex help conserve
energy expenditure for clients who manually propel. 1. Air-Foam Flotation
Reflex foam is perforated in the sacral-ischial area for maximum protection
of the decubitus-sensitive area of the ITs. Bonding Reflex foam to coated fabric
makes the cushion hold air. Air-Foam Floatation combines the best properties of
air and foam to offer superior skin protection. The air supports the load, while
the foam keeps the air where its needed and preserves the cushion shape. The
foam conforms to the user, and the users weight is distributed over the surface
of the cushion. Independent research has shown VARILITE Air-Foam Floatation
to be the #1 impact and vibration dampening technology (RESNA 2000). 2.
Fabric Reflex foam is bonded to puncture and water resistant polyester
fabric for strength and durability. 3. Air-Release Device A built-in
air-release device (patent pending) automatically releases a portion of air when
the user sits on the cushion. The air-release device allows a fixed amount of
immersion and prevents bottoming out. When weight is taken off the cushion, it
automatically re-inflates. 4. Cover The Reflex features a tailored,
removable incontinence cover. The underside is a rugged non-slip material with
hook and loop for added security. Machine washable.
