Description
The Top Cover is made out of multi-dimensional stretchable, breathable and heat dissipation material. This cover only covers the top part of the wheelchair cushion. Leaving the bottom part open, allowing the cushion to continue to breathe. All in all optimal ventilation and comfort. The Top Cover is ideal to help manage one of the main causes of pressure sores, the build-up of moisture and heat due to lack of ventilation.
The Top Cover is especially designed for the Vicair O2 range*. The Vicair O2 wheelchair cushions have an open structure and are easily machine washable. With the Top Cover they maintain their specific qualities, like their breathability. To make optimal use of the temperature and moisture regulating qualities of the Vicair O2 cushions, we recommend using the Top Cover.
Because of the Vicair O2 cushion’s open structure, it is not necessarily required to use an incontinence cover. An incontinence cover is mostly used to protect the cushion, while it is more important to protect the user’s skin from getting moist and vulnerable. Any moisture or fluid can easily go through the Vicair O2 cushion and doesn’t build up between cover and buttocks. An extra cover is provided with the cushion, so in case of an accident you can quickly sit nice and dry again. In order to deal with the fluids or moisture that pass through a Vicair O2 cushion, you can for example place an incontinence pad under the cushion. The Vicair O2 cushion itself can easily be washed in the laundry machine in its entirety.
