Invacare Cushion Rigidizer

A lightweight, durable plastic insert that eliminates the “hammock effect” in sling-seat wheelchairs by providing a solid, level base. It improves pelvic stability, posture, and pressure distribution, while ensuring proper cushion functionality, comfort, and, in some cases, enhanced propulsion efficiency

Key Benefits:

• Eliminates “Hammocking”: Provides a firm, flat surface that prevents the cushion from sagging into the sling seat.
• Improves Stability & Posture: Enhances user positioning by providing a stable foundation, which can aid in better postural support and increased comfort.
• Pressure Relief: By maintaining the correct shape of the cushion, it helps ensure effective pressure redistribution, reducing the risk of skin breakdown.
• Ease of Use: It is lightweight, easy to clean, and fits easily under most cushions, typically secured inside the seat cover.
• Compatibility: Designed to work with most wheelchairs featuring sling-style upholstery.
