DESCRIPTION

The Varilite Reflex is a non-adjustable skin protection cushion which is virtually maintenance free. The Reflex Cushion features a built-in air-release device which allows a fixed amount of immersion and prevents bottoming out. When weight is taken off of the cushion, the Reflex automatically re-inflates.


Therapists recommend the Reflex for clients who are at moderate risk of skin breakdown. Therapists value the Reflex because the set amount of immersion conforms to clients body, providing comfort and added stability. The Reflex is ideal for nursing homes, hospitals and other clinical environments where an effective, low maintenance skin protection wheelchair cushion is required.


Users and caregivers value the simplicity and ease of use of the Reflex. The ultra-lightweight design of the Reflex help conserve energy expenditure for clients who manually propel.


1. Air-Foam Flotation

Reflex foam is perforated in the sacral-ischial area for maximum protection of the decubitus-sensitive area of the ITs. Bonding Reflex foam to coated fabric makes the cushion hold air. Air-Foam Floatation combines the best properties of air and foam to offer superior skin protection. The air supports the load, while the foam keeps the air where its needed and preserves the cushion shape. The foam conforms to the user, and the users weight is distributed over the surface of the cushion. Independent research has shown VARILITE Air-Foam Floatation to be the #1 impact and vibration dampening technology (RESNA 2000).

2. Fabric

Reflex foam is bonded to puncture and water resistant polyester fabric for strength and durability.

3. Air-Release Device

A built-in air-release device (patent pending) automatically releases a portion of air when the user sits on the cushion. The air-release device allows a fixed amount of immersion and prevents bottoming out. When weight is taken off the cushion, it automatically re-inflates.

4. Cover

The Reflex features a tailored, removable incontinence cover. The underside is a rugged non-slip material with hook and loop for added security. Machine washable.
