Follow on Google News | Skwoosh™, Manufacturer of Lightweight, Performance Gel Cushions, Announces New Wheelchair CushionI-Tek Inc. announces the expansion of their line of Skwoosh cushions with the Wheelchair Cushion, a gel cushion for wheelchair users. The Wheelchair Cushion joins an extensive line of Skwoosh gel cushions including kayak and canoe cushions.
By: Skwoosh The unique design of the Wheelchair Cushion further contributes to its effectiveness. The cushion is constructed of two small gel packs that sit under the upper thighs to improve circulation and relieve pressure on the upper thighs. The gel packs are kept in pace by a fabric cover constructed of the same waterproof nylon material used in most Medicare coded wheelchair cushions. The material has a very low coefficient of friction to ease motion and reduce the abrasion that can lead to ulcers. Designed with wheelchair users in mind, the Wheelchair Cushion has an extremely slim profile for an even less obtrusive appearance. I-Tek, Inc. is a material design and development company focused on applying its patented TekPad® light weight gel to commercial applications. I-Tek’s Skwoosh Performance Comfort Products division was started in 1999 to bring TekPad technology to the outdoor and back comfort markets. New product development centers on serving markets in which comfort, cushioning and pressure relief are essential to performance.
