Vicair cushion products are made of perforated material and have an open mesh underneath the cushion. This allows excess moisture to drain away from the skin and air to flow so heat build-up is decreased.
Vicair SmartCells is a unique air technology that uses small pyramid air sacs that contain a sealed volume of air. These are designed for high-performance skin protection for optimal postural support and designed to be user friendly. When you sit on a Vicair wheelchair cushion, you are supported by hundreds of air filled SmartCells redistributing forces evenly and minimising peak pressures in high risk areas. SmartCells will deform and move when loaded, which enables immersion, envelopment and limits shear and friction forces on the skin.
