Patients exhibiting low core stability or spastic extensor tone consistently lean forward, causing their pelvis to thrust toward the edge of the seat. This continuous sliding posture not only risks accidental wheelchair ejections but also creates intense friction along the coccyx, resulting in localized tissue shear, painful pressure ulcers, and chronic spinal misalignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Proactive Medical Protekt Gel Wedge with Pommel Cushion addresses these dangerous positioning liabilities through a multi-tiered orthopedic containment design. Constructed with a built-in forward-facing wedge profile, the cushion naturally lowers the occupant's hips relative to their knees, using gravity to safely anchor the pelvis against the backrest. The integrated, contoured medial leg abductor (pommel block) provides structural lateral alignment, preventing lower-extremity adduction (knee knocking) while acting as a gentle physical barrier to eliminate forward sacral migration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAnti-Thrust Wedge Ergonomics:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a forward-sloping wedge profile that keeps the user's hips securely positioned back against the wheelchair seat to prevent dangerous slumping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAnatomical Medial Pommel:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrated leg abduction block guides femoral alignment, prevents knee adduction, and adds an extra layer of forward-sliding protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDual-Chamber Gel Core:\u003c\/b\u003e Embedded with an advanced fluid gel bladder that redistributes pressure, dampens shocks, and keeps skin cool during prolonged seating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLow-Shear Fluid-Proof Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e Encased in a breathable, fluid-resistant stretch nylon jacket that reduces friction and handles harsh institutional sanitizing agents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNon-Slip Safety Anchoring:\u003c\/b\u003e Equipped with a high-friction bottom fabric and adjustable quick-release buckle straps to lock the cushion firmly onto the wheelchair frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEffective Pressure Ulcer Defense:\u003c\/b\u003e Specially engineered to meet clinical requirements for treating and preventing Stage I through IV pressure sores.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBrand \/ Manufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Proactive Medical Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel Designation:\u003c\/b\u003e Protekt Gel Wedge with Pommel Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCore Materials:\u003c\/b\u003e High-density polyurethane foam and multi-chambered therapeutic cooling gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCover Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Antimicrobial, vapor-permeable stretch nylon top with non-skid vinyl bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSafety Flammability Rating:\u003c\/b\u003e Meets strict California Technical Bulletin 117 fire standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAnchoring Hardware:\u003c\/b\u003e Adjustable rear nylon tracking straps with heavy-duty quick-release plastic buckles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrimary Target Conditions:\u003c\/b\u003e Stage I-IV pressure sores, forward sacral thrusting, pelvic asymmetry, leg adduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaintenance Protocol:\u003c\/b\u003e Fluid-impervious skin allows rapid spray sanitization or machine-washing the removable zipper cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Proactive","offers":[{"title":"16\" x 16\" x 4\" -
