Graham-Field Lumex Basic Wedge Cushion

Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex® Basic Wedge Cushion is latex free.

Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex Basic Wedge Cushion is specifically engineered for therapeutic support and pressure management, aiming to reduce tissue interface pressures at critical points. Its effectiveness stems from several key features:

• Advanced Core Composition: The cushion utilizes a strategic core combination of a specialized gel layer integrated with a convoluted foam topper. This design helps distribute weight evenly and minimize shear forces.
• Ergonomic Wedge Design: It features a moderate slope, transitioning from 4 inches (front) down to 3.25 inches (rear), which aids in stable positioning and comfort.
• Fluid-Proof Protection: The soft, stretchable, lightweight cover is fluid-proof, which is essential for hygiene and further reduces friction and shear against the skin.
• Stability and Capacity: The cushion includes an integrated strap for secure attachment to a chair and supports a maximum user weight capacity of 350 lb.

Yes, the cover is specifically engineered to maximize comfort and promote skin integrity.

• Shear and Friction Reduction: The soft, stretchable, and lightweight cover material actively minimizes shear forces and friction against the skin.
• Fluid-Proof: For hygiene and protection, the cover is completely fluid-proof, safeguarding the specialized gel and convoluted foam core.
• Secure Attachment: The cushion also features an integrated strap at the back, allowing you to firmly secure it to the seating surface for stability.

Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex Basic Wedge Cushion includes a fluid-proof cover. This feature is essential for hygiene and durability.

This high-quality cover is soft, stretchable, and lightweight, offering several key benefits:

• Hygiene: Being fluid-proof makes the cover easy to clean and helps maintain a sanitary seating environment.
• Skin Protection: The material is specifically designed to reduce shear and friction, which is important for protecting skin integrity.
• Component Safety: It safeguards the internal specialized gel layer and convoluted foam topper from moisture damage.

This cushion is designed to accommodate a wide range of body shapes, sizes, and weights. It supports a generous maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs.

The Graham-Field Lumex Basic Wedge Cushion is engineered specifically for supportive positioning and effective pressure redistribution to minimize tissue interface pressures.

This is achieved through a multi-layer design focusing on both protection and alignment:

• Advanced Core Composition: The core combines a specialized gel layer with a convoluted foam topper designed to work together to mitigate pressure at vulnerable contact points.
• Positional Support: The moderate wedge angle slopes from 4 inches (front) down to 3.25 inches (rear), aiding in proper body alignment and stable positioning.
• Protective Cover: It features a soft, stretchable, and fluid-proof cover that helps reduce friction and shear forces on the skin, crucial for maintaining skin integrity.
• Secure Fit: An integrated strap at the back ensures the cushion stays firmly secured to the seating surface, preventing movement that could increase shear and friction.

Yes, a strap is included at the back of the cushion. This strap helps to secure the cushion firmly in place on your chair or seating surface.

Yes, the Graham-Field Lumex Basic Wedge Cushion is specifically engineered with advanced materials to provide effective pressure reduction and comfortable support.

The cushion features a dual-layer core system designed to minimize tissue interface pressures at vulnerable areas:

• Pressure Reduction Core: Utilizes a specialized gel layer combined with a convoluted foam topper for superior pressure redistribution.
• Wedge Design: Features a moderate wedge angle, sloping from 4 inches (front) down to 3.25 inches (rear) for optimal ergonomic positioning.
• Protective Cover: The soft, stretchable, and lightweight cover is fluid-proof, which helps minimize shear and friction.

Furthermore, this cushion is Latex Free and offers a robust maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs.

Yes, while the Graham-Field Lumex Basic Wedge Cushion supports a maximum weight of 350 lb, bariatric cushions with higher weight capacities are also available to meet diverse needs.

The Lumex Basic Wedge Cushion utilizes a moderate, ergonomic wedge design engineered for supportive positioning and pressure redistribution. The precise slope specifications are as follows:

• Front Height: 4 inches
• Rear Height: 3.25 inches (3 ¼ inches)

This gradual slope helps promote proper seated alignment and posture. The wedge profile also maximizes the effectiveness of the cushion’s core, which features a specialized gel layer and convoluted foam topper to minimize tissue interface pressures. The cushion includes a securing strap to ensure it stays firmly attached to the seating surface.
