The Graham-Field Dura Gel Bariatric Skin Protection and Comfort Wheelchair Cushion is a heavy-duty seating solution specifically engineered to meet the unique comfort and pressure management needs of bariatric users and caregivers. Bariatric patients often face increased pressure, reduced circulation, and a higher risk of skin breakdown during prolonged sitting. This bariatric skin protection and comfort cushion is designed to address those challenges by providing superior pressure redistribution and weight equalization with an exceptional 650 lb weight capacity. Built with a layered construction that includes a medium-density foam base, a non-aqueous visco-elastic gel core, and a visco-elastic memory foam topper, the cushion delivers both durability and enhanced comfort. Strategically placed gel in three pressure zones helps reduce tissue interface pressure at critical points, while the moderate front-to-back slope promotes proper positioning. Paired with a premium, fluid-resistant, antimicrobial cover, this cushion is ideal for long-term use in home care, rehabilitation, and long-term care environments. Upgrade bariatric seating comfort, support skin integrity, and ensure reliable performance—choose the Graham-Field Dura Gel Bariatric Cushion today.
