Description
There are 7 models of Vicair to choose from depending on the users exact personal requirements however they all share the same design concept.
The Vicair Twin O2 is an entry level cushion and is ideal for general use. Divided into two sections, the rear compartment has fewer cells than the front in order to provide effective pressure and shear reduction. The Twin is available in 6 and 10cm heights. The Twin 10 is recommended for clients with severe body asymmetry.
The Vicair cushions provide a unique combination of superior pressure re-distribution, comfort and optimal positioning, making it suitable for clients at 'Very High Risk'* of developing pressure ulcers. The cushions can be adjusted in cell density and customised to fit the client's contours, offering high quality postural support. The SoftCellsTM provide a dynamic seating surface that can be adjusted to accommodate a range of postural asymmetries.
Unique design
Each cushion offers a unique and innovative approach to body support. Each cushion contains hundreds of SoftCellsTM which are small air filled, pyramid shaped cells contained in strategically placed compartments. These flexible, fabric coated cells have a low friction level when in contact with each other and continuously adapt and conform to the body’s contours.
Optimal positioning and pressure reduction
With high levels of pressure reduction, the cushions still provide a comfortable surface with excellent stability and improved positioning. This makes the Academy range suitable for those at 'Very High Risk' of developing pressure ulcers.
Light weight and low maintenance
This innovative design results in a cushion range which is safe, easy to maintain and lightweight. There is no risk of the cushion deflating so if a SoftCellTM does get damaged, the single cell can be replaced rather than the entire cushion. As for maintenance, once the cushion has been adjusted to the clients needs, there is little staff intervention required with minimal disruption for the client, as daily checks are not necessary. This ultra lightweight cushion is easy to lift and transfer from chair to chair, making it ideal for active users.
