Geo-Matrix Split Cushions
Insert wedges to accommodate the desired hip angle
Customizable
Prevents sliding
Pressure redistributing
The Geo-Matrix™ Split cushion is often used to provide comfort for users who require gentle positioning and contouring with excellent pressure redistribution and vibration control.
The Split cushion features an 8” split directly through the centre of the pommel.
This allows wedges to be inserted under one or even both sides of the cushion’s leg trough region to accommodate the desired hip angle required for each individual user.
A “fit kit” of various wedges can be added to compliment the Split cushion. Each wedge secures to the base of the cushion using Velcro.
These wedges can be added or removed as needed for on-the-spot customization. This also allows for modifications to be easily made to the cushion if the user’s condition should change.
The Geo-Matrix™ Split is indicated for users at moderate to high risk of skin breakdown, as well as for treatment of pressure injuries.
To further the Split’s custom feel and protection there are different insert options that may be added underneath the high risk coccyx section.
These inserts are: Gel infused memory foam Geo-Matrix Pillow top
Worry Free Comfort! Geo-Matrix™ gel’s closed cell construction ensures no risk of migration, leaking or oozing hazards posed by air or fluid filled products. Geo-Matrix™ has no risk for punctures, flattening, failing or inflation issues.
Geo-Matrix™ gel is capable of stretching more then 10x it’s original size only to immediately rebound back to it’s starting shape / position. Geo-Matrix™ gel can withstand the most aggressive users with no risk of the gel losing it’s integrity.
Proven pressure redistribution through the Geo-Matrix™ gel’s columnar collapse. As the column walls collapse under peak pressure points, the neighbouring walls stretch to take on the pressure and expand it through a wider area, creating a larger “footprint” and eliminating peak pressure points. This, paired with the gel’s immensely immersive properties make Geo-Matrix™ a leader in preventing skin break down and healing existing ulcers.
Geo-Matrix™ gel comes in a variety of firmness’ , allowing for a comfortable feeling no matter the user’s preference.
Geo-Matrix™ gel is non porous, so it will not absorb liquids. Feel free to use any (non-bleach) disinfectant on all gel components to eliminate all germs and bacteria!
Many wheelchair users are exposed to Whole Body Vibration (WBV) every single day. WBV can pose serious health risks after prolonged exposure, including; fatigue, stomach problems, headaches, loss of balance and more… Geo-Matrix™ gel absorbs vibration and ultimately lessens the effects of WBV to the user.
Friction and shear forces are created when a surface is lacking in segmentation and therefore friction / shear wounds can occur. Luckily, Geo-Matrix™ gel has segmentation in every single gel sheet! Meaning significant prevention of friction and shear wounds.
Because Geo-Matrix™ products not only prevent wounds, but they ALSO dampen vibration AND manage microclimate, this means that Geo-Matrix™ users are experiencing more over all comfort and therefor are able to withstand longer sit times before requiring weight adjustment or transfers.
Geo-Matrix™ gel is not affected by outside temperatures. Meaning the gel will not freeze when cold, and will not become fluid when warmed. Geo-Matrix™ gel always remains 2 degrees below ambient temperature. Meaning Geo-Matrix™ gel achieves an ideal microclimate management system for the entire length of a user’s experience.
Yes, Geo-Matrix™ gel can be machine washed! The gel can also be submerged, scrubbed, and sprayed.
