EquaGel Pressure Cushion with Washable Cover - 16" x 18"
The EquaGel General is a pressure-reducing gel cushion designed for everyday use. Made from dry-polymer gel, it has a rubber-like texture and features a grid system that creates a supportive and comfortable surface for users. When seated, the cushion redistributes pressure to relieve discomfort, while built-in air channels promote airflow and temperature regulation. The breathable, water-resistant cover further optimises the skin microclimate, helping to maintain healthy skin.
All EquaGel cushions come with a multi-stretch cover and Velcro straps for secure wheelchair attachment. These cushions are low-maintenance, durable, and ready to use without setup, making them ideal for slung wheelchair seats.
Key Features
•EquaGel™ is a dry-polymer gel with a rubber-like texture—not a liquid.
•It boasts exceptional tensile and compression strength, ensuring durability and support.
•One of its most remarkable features is column buckling—a unique design that enhances pressure distribution.
•Each gel wall supports a light load, but when the pressure exceeds its limit, the wall buckles and transfers the weight to surrounding walls for even distribution.
•This process occurs instantly and continuously, ensuring maximum surface area support, regardless of body shape.
•High-risk areas prone to pressure sores "float" nearly pressure-free, while the cushion evenly distributes the user's weight for enhanced comfort and skin protection.
•Ideal for mild to moderate pressure relief
•Contoured pelvic area for even pressure distribution
•Waterproof, flame-retardant, vapour-permeable cover with secure hook-and-loop base
•50mm height with 32mm of buckling gel under pressure points
•Zero maintenance – no valves or pumps required
•Stays 12+ degrees cooler than inflatable cushions
•Absorbs vibrations, reducing impact on skin and tissue integrity (especially for scooter users)
•Machine washable components for easy cleaning
