The Graham-Field Dura Gel Wheelchair Cushion with Skin Protection is an advanced clinical seating solution designed to support higher-risk wheelchair users and caregivers who require reliable pressure relief, postural control, and forward-sliding prevention. Extended wheelchair sitting can lead to excessive pressure, instability, and unwanted forward movement, increasing the risk of discomfort and skin breakdown. This skin protection, positioning, and anti-thrust wheelchair cushion addresses these challenges using non-aqueous Dura-Gel technology strategically placed in three pressure zones to reduce tissue interface pressure at critical points. Constructed with a high-density foam base and a visco-elastic topper, the cushion enhances comfort while maintaining durability. Its contoured design features a moderate front-to-back slope, lateral supports, medial thigh positioning, and an integrated pre-ischial ridge to help maintain proper posture and reduce forward migration. Enhance seating stability, protect skin integrity, and promote safer positioning—shop the Graham-Field Dura-Gel Wheelchair Cushion today.
