AXIOM SP Visco Cushions
Comfort. Positioning. Immersion.
Axiom SP Visco takes advantage of the Axiom Difference
and is designed to provide increased immersion,
using a Viscoelastic Foam instead of the Hydrolite fluid bladder
seen in the Axiom SP Fluid.
Viscoelastic Material
Viscoelastic material is both viscous (changes shape slowly) and elastic (it returns to its original shape).
It deforms and returns to shape very slowly. There is a significant lag between when you deform viscoelastic foam and when it returns to shape.
Because energy is effectively absorbed and dissipated during the time lag there is less reaction force pushing back after deformation.
Increased Immersion
Axiom SP Visco is designed to provide increased immersion, allowing the trochanters to bear an effective load.
This improves stability by widening the base of support and reduces the load the tissue that supports the Ischial Tuberosities must bear.
A thick section of specially designed Viscoelastic foam deforms to immerse and envelop the Ischial Tuberosities.
High-Quality Foam Materials
Axiom SP Visco is constructed with foam that has a high IFD and density.
The dual density polyurethane foam base offers firm support in the lower layer with a durable comfort layer on top.
While the viscoelastic foam insert with unique hexagonal shapes increase envelopment and reduce compression around the ischia and coccyx. High-quality foam materials lead to a long-lasting, comfortable, and high-performing product.
Surface Tension Reduction
The viscoelastic foam insert with unique hexagonal shapes increase envelopment and reduce compression around the ischia and coccyx.
The outer cover features a microclimatic spacer fabric layer with horseshoe design around the well for layer reduction allowing the foam insert to rest directly beneath the pleated 4-way stretch Lycra cover to reduce surface tension.
Pre-Contoured Shape
It's important for all cushions to have a properly designed pre-contoured shape.
That's why we cooperated with Georgia Tech to study anthropometrics. Axiom SP Visco has a properly designed pre-contoured shape, designed to provide increased immersion, allowing the trochanters to bear an effective load, widening the base of support, and reducing the load the Ischial Tuberosities must bear.
The well also has two small areas where foam is removed under the Ischial Tuberosities to facilitate immersion.
Feature Rich Cover
Axiom SP Visco has an innovative cover that is aesthetically pleasing with functional benefits for both the client and caregiver.
The 4-way super stretch Lycra outer cover or optional Wipeable Incontinence Resistant cover with polyurethane contact surface reduces surface tension while the pleated 4-way stretch inner cover with self-sealing zipper is water resistant and is easy to clean.
The water-resistant zipper and loop zipper pull make it simple to don and doff the cover while protecting the foam. There is an easy-to-reach front handle with utility loops for hanging accessories.

Private Clients and Families
Paragon Mobility is committed to supporting positive outcomes for people who rely on complex wheelchairs and specialised assistive technology. While we do not supply products directly to end users, we work closely with our National Dealer Network and healthcare professionals to provide the product expertise, technical knowledge and ongoing support that contribute to effective assistive technology prescriptions.
Our role is to support the people and organisations responsible for assessing, prescribing, supplying and maintaining equipment. Through comprehensive product information, configuration guidance, technical assistance, education and troubleshooting support, we help our partners ensure that products are appropriately selected and configured to meet each end user’s individual functional needs, environment, lifestyle and goals.
Paragon Mobility also supports the prescription process by providing access to product knowledge, trial equipment and specialist advice, helping dealers and clinicians evaluate whether a proposed solution is appropriate before final prescription. This collaborative approach can reduce the risk of inappropriate equipment selection and improve the long-term efficacy of prescribed solutions.
Following supply, we remain available to our dealer partners with technical and product support throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Ultimately, our objective is to work behind the scenes as a trusted product specialist, supporting our partners so that end users receive effective, appropriate and sustainable assistive technology solutions.
