AliMed^® Checkerboard T-Gel^™ Plus Wheelchair Cushion

AliMed® Checkerboard T-Gel™ Plus Wheelchair Cushion combines the benefits of T-Gel with slow recovery T-Foam™ (memory foam) for even better pressure distribution and shear reduction. Low-profile gel top layer features individual checkerboard gel cells that move independently to react to patient's movements and allow greater air circulation for maximum shear relief. Medium T-Foam bottom layer magnifies the positive effects of the gel by offering extra cushion to evenly allocate coccyx pressure. Alitane® envelope protects the T-Foam from incontinence. Available in Standard and Bariatric sizes with Black Stretch Polyknit cover or durable Navy Ripstop Nylon cover that resists incontinence and stops punctures from becoming tears.

1-5/8"H (5/8"H T-Gel pad over 1"H Medium T-Foam) • 8 lbs.

Disclaimer: Cushions may ship with either gold or blue gel insert. There is no significant performance difference based on the color of the insert.

About AliMed® T-Gel™: With typical cushions, excessive shear force leads to occlusion of blood flow, which is seen as one of the biggest contributing factors behind pressure injuries and discomfort. T-Gel is a soft, rubber-like elastomer gel that mimics fatty tissue and moves with the skin to minimize the effects of skin shearing and the risk of skin breakdown. Guaranteed not to leak or dry out if accidentally punctured or cut.
