Frequently asked questions
Is this cushion designed for HCPCS compliance?
Yes, the Graham-Field Dura-Gel BASE 3G wheelchair cushion is specifically designed to meet HCPCS coding standards (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System), which may be important for billing and reimbursement purposes.
The specific applicable code depends on the cushion size:
- HCPCS Code E2601: Applies to cushion sizes measuring less than 22 inches (< 22”).
- HCPCS Code E2602: Applies to cushion sizes measuring 22 inches or greater (≥ 22”).
Is the Dura-Gel cushion multi-layered for superior support?
Yes, the Dura-Gel BASE 3G is engineered with a multi-layered system to provide enhanced support, pressure reduction, and comfort.
The three primary functional layers are:
- Non-aqueous Dura-Gel™: The core layer specifically designed to mitigate surface pressure points.
- High-Density Base Foam: Provides foundational stability and ensures product durability.
- Convoluted Foam Topper: Enhances user comfort and promotes airflow.
This cushion is lightweight and accommodates a maximum user weight capacity of 300 lbs.
Does the convoluted foam topper enhance comfort and airflow?
Yes, the Graham-Field Dura-Gel BASE 3G cushion features a specific convoluted foam topper that is essential for maximizing user comfort and managing skin health during extended use.
This top layer provides two primary benefits:
- Enhanced Comfort: The foam structure offers a softer, more accommodating layer of cushioning for an improved seating experience.
- Improved Airflow: The unique convoluted texture actively promotes air circulation, which is vital for preventing heat and moisture buildup.
This topper works in tandem with the pressure-reducing, non-aqueous Dura-Gel™ layer and the durable high-density base foam to ensure comprehensive support.
Is the cushion securely fastened to the wheelchair?
Yes, the Graham-Field Dura-Gel BASE 3G is engineered for secure and stable positioning on the wheelchair. The cushion cover features multiple components to prevent sliding and ensure it remains firmly attached:
- Non-Slip Base Fabric: The bottom material is a specialized no-slip fabric designed to grip the wheelchair seat.
- Integrated Securing Strap: A strap located at the back allows the cushion to be firmly fastened directly to the wheelchair frame.
- Four-Way Stretch Top: The top surface fabric promotes comfort while assisting in maintaining proper cushion placement.
What impressive weight can the cushion support?
The Graham-Field Dura-Gel Base 3G wheelchair cushion is reliably constructed with high-density foam and is designed to support a maximum weight capacity of 300 lb.
Does the cushion use a specialized layered design?
Yes, the Graham-Field Dura-Gel Base 3G features an advanced three-layer structure engineered for pressure redistribution, comfort, and long-term durability. It focuses on combining different materials to maximize therapeutic benefit.
This specialized design includes:
- Non-aqueous Dura-Gel™ Layer: Strategically placed as the core support to significantly reduce surface pressure.
- High-Density Base Foam: Provides critical structural stability and ensures the cushion’s longevity and shape retention.
- Convoluted Foam Topper: Located on top, this layer enhances overall comfort and promotes better airflow.
