Varilite Reflex Wheelchair Cushion
The Varilite Reflex wheelchair cushion is the self-adjusting cushion of choice for wheelchair users who have low to moderate needs.
The Reflex cushion is an ideal low maintenance wheelchair cushion. Thanks to the built-in air-release system, this automatically adjusts the air volume as the user sits on it. Not only is the Varilite Reflex wheelchair cushion ultra-lightweight and durable, but also simple to use.
Available with a water-resistant cover.
Description
Comprised of mixed foam densities for support where it matters
The foam inside the Varilite Reflex wheelchair cushion is lighter weight beneath the bony parts of the buttocks, and is made up of medium density foam around the legs for appropriate weight distribution and firmer foam around the edges to provide postural support.
Self-setting valve for ease of use
The built-in air-release system automatically releases a portion of air when the user sits on the cushion. The air-release device allows a fixed amount of immersion and limits bottoming out.
Fail safe air-foam technology
Varilite cushions are fail safe, meaning even with a puncture you have the benefit of the foam in each cushion, to rely on.
Skin protection
Reticulated foam in Varilite covers is breathable, allowing circulation of air and water vapour, helping in the preservation of healthy skin.
Water-resistant cover
The water-resistant (but water vapour permeable) cover makes for low maintenance and peace of mind. It also meets the ISO 16840-10 ignition resistance standard, and is machine washable.
Performs after extended use
The Varilite Reflex wheelchair cushion shows consistent pressure redistribution even after rigorous life-cycle testing.
