The unique wedge-shaped profile provides a subtle posterior tilt, creating an \"anti-thrust\" effect that discourages forward sliding and sacral sitting common issues for patients with diminished core strength or neurological impairments. By maintaining the user in a secure, upright position, this cushion reduces the frequent need for manual repositioning by nursing staff, thereby lowering the risk of caregiver strain and patient shear injuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the cushion is a sophisticated multi-layer system featuring high-resiliency foam and an integrated cooling gel bladder. This combination allows for deep immersion, effectively offloading pressure from the ischial tuberosities and distributing it across a wider surface area. The gel component further aids in microclimate management by drawing heat away from the skin's surface. Encased in a fluid-resistant, antimicrobial stretch cover, the Protekt® Gel Wedge is an essential asset for long-term care facilities and hospitals looking to enhance their fall prevention and wound care protocols simultaneously.\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 Positioning:\u003c\/b\u003e The anatomical wedge design promotes a neutral pelvic tilt and prevents the user from sliding forward in the wheelchair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDual-Layer Pressure Relief:\u003c\/b\u003e Combines high-density polyurethane foam with a central gel bladder for maximum immersion and skin protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMicroclimate Regulation:\u003c\/b\u003e Integrated cooling gel helps dissipate body heat, reducing the risk of skin maceration during prolonged seating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShear Reduction Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e The low-shear, antimicrobial stretch top fabric minimizes friction against the skin during movements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInstitutional Durability:\u003c\/b\u003e A fluid-proof vinyl bottom ensures the cushion remains stable on the seat and is protected from incontinence or spills.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEnhanced Safety:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes adjustable security straps to firmly anchor the cushion to the wheelchair, preventing accidental displacement.\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\u003eCore Material:\u003c\/b\u003e High-density foam with an encapsulated liquid gel bladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShape:\u003c\/b\u003e Sloped wedge (Anti-thrust)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCover Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Fluid-resistant, antimicrobial stretch nylon (top) \/ Non-slip vinyl (bottom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight Capacity:\u003c\/b\u003e 250 lbs (Standard) \/ 350 lbs (Bariatric)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSafety Standards:\u003c\/b\u003e Meets California Technical Bulletin 117-2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAttachment:\u003c\/b\u003e Quick-release security straps included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eApplications:\u003c\/b\u003e Wheelchairs, geriatric chairs, and standard clinical seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Proactive","offers":[{"title":"16\" x 16\" x 3\"-1.5\"","offer_id":31620197974067,"sku":"PRO-76149G","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 16\" x 3\"-1.5\"","offer_id":31620198006835,"sku":"PRO-76150G","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\" x 16\" x 3\"-1.5\"","offer_id":31620198039603,"sku":"PRO-76152G","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16\" x 16\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198072371,"sku":"PRO-76056G","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 16\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198105139,"sku":"PRO-76161G","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\" x 16\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198170675,"sku":"PRO-76162G","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\" x 18\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198236211,"sku":"PRO-76053G","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22\" x 16\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198301747,"sku":"PRO-76168G","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"22\" x 18\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198334515,"sku":"PRO-76054G","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 18\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198400051,"sku":"PRO-76055G","price":94.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"26\" x 18\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198432819,"sku":"PRO-76062G","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"26\" x 20\" x 4\"- 2\"","offer_id":31620198465587,"sku":"PRO-76063G","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2304\/8155\/products\/Protekt_Gel_Wedge_Cushion_8ea821c3-09cd-445d-8ea9-c21bcb0ddcc7.jpg?v=1754949837","url":"https:\/\/rescue-supply.com\/products\/proactive-protekt%c2%ae-gel-wedge-cushion-anti-thrust-postural-support-and-pressure-redistribution","provider":"Rescue Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
