Frequently asked questions
Does the Dura-Gel cushion provide advanced skin protection?
Yes, the Dura-Gel™ SPP (Skin Protection & Positioning) cushion is specifically engineered for advanced, long-term skin protection, making it ideal for higher-risk patients.
Its design utilizes a multi-layered approach to ensure comprehensive protection and positioning:
- Advanced Pressure Reduction: Non-aqueous Dura-Gel™ is strategically placed in three distinct pressure zones to significantly reduce tissue interface pressures at critical contact points.
- Comprehensive Positioning: The cushion includes positioning aids such as a center pommel for medial thigh support and lateral stability wedges for the lower extremities, trochanter, and pelvis. This ensures optimal alignment and reduces pressure related to poor posture.
- Comfort and Structure: The core includes a supportive high-density base foam and a comfortable visco-elastic topper surrounding the Dura-Gel™ layer.
- Anti-Shear Cover: It features a soft, stretchable, lightweight cover that is fluid resistant and designed specifically to minimize shear and friction against the skin.
Which HCPCS codes apply to this cushion?
The Dura-Gel SPP cushion is designed to comply with specific Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes, which is essential for billing and reimbursement purposes. The applicable code depends on the cushion’s width:
- HCPCS Code E2607: Applies to cushion sizes with a width less than 22 inches.
- HCPCS Code E2608: Applies to cushion sizes with a width equal to or greater than 22 inches.
Which advanced materials provide skin protection?
The Dura-Gel™ SPP cushion utilizes an advanced, multi-layer system specifically engineered for superior Skin Protection & Positioning (SPP), targeting individuals deemed higher risk.The key materials and features providing therapeutic benefits include:<ul><li>Triple Zone Dura-Gel™: The core technology features proprietary non-aqueous Dura-Gel™ strategically placed in three distinct pressure zones to significantly reduce tissue interface pressures at critical points.</li><li>Visco-Elastic Topper: This comfortable layer sits above the gel to enhance user comfort during long-term use.</li><li>High-Density Base Foam: This foundation provides structural integrity and comprehensive support.</li><li>Protective Cover: The soft, stretchable, and lightweight cover is designed to be fluid resistant and minimize shear/friction forces, helping maintain skin integrity.</li></ul>The entire system is certified as Latex Free.
Is the Dura-Gel® SPP wheelchair cushion latex-free?
Yes, the Dura-Gel™ SPP wheelchair cushion is latex-free.
What is the warranty period for the Graham-Field Dura-Gel™ SPP wheelchair cushion?
The Graham-Field Dura-Gel™ SPP wheelchair cushion is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.
Is this cushion engineered for stability and positioning?
Yes, the Dura-Gel SPP cushion is specifically designed for enhanced Skin Protection & Positioning (SPP), providing comprehensive stability features for higher-risk users. The structural design actively promotes alignment and posture through several integrated components:
- Lateral Stability: Integrated side wedges stabilize the lower extremities, trochanter, and pelvis.
- Medial Positioning: A central pommel ensures correct medial thigh positioning and separation.
- Postural Support: The high-density base foam and moderate slope profile work together to maintain proper seated posture and stability.
What is the maximum weight capacity for the Dura-Gel® SPP wheelchair cushion?
The Dura-Gel™ SPP wheelchair cushion has a weight capacity of up to 350 lbs.
Is there a wide selection of cushion sizes?
Yes, the Dura-Gel SPP cushion is available in a wide selection of sizes to accommodate various users and wheelchairs. All configurations maintain a consistent depth/thickness of 4 1/2 inches.
Available Width x Depth Dimensions:
- 16” x 16”
- 18” x 16”
- 18” x 18”
- 20” x 16”
- 20” x 18”
- 22” x 18”
- 24” x 18”
The cushion also features a maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs, ensuring high compatibility for a diverse range of body shapes and weights.
What is the cushion's consistent height?
The Graham-Field Dura-Gel SPP cushion maintains a consistent overall height (thickness) across all available size configurations.
The cushion’s height is 4 1/2 inches. This depth is specifically engineered to contain the multi-layer structure (high-density foam, visco-elastic topper, and three Dura-Gel rade pressure zones) required for optimal therapeutic skin protection and positioning.
Does it offer superior pressure reduction?
Yes, the Dura-Gel™ SPP (Skin Protection & Positioning) wheelchair cushion is specifically engineered for advanced pressure reduction and skin protection, making it ideal for higher-risk patients.
Its superior design includes:
- Dura-Gel™ Technology: A specialized, non-aqueous Dura-Gel™ center layer is strategically placed across three pressure zones to significantly reduce tissue interface pressures at critical contact points.
- Comfort and Support: The gel is combined with a supportive high-density base foam and a comfortable visco-elastic topper for effective weight distribution.
- Skin Safety: The soft, stretchable, fluid-resistant cover is designed to actively minimize shear and friction.
