Jay Ion Wheelchair Cushion

Comfort, convenience and anti-microbial are three words that describe everything great about the JAY Ion cushion. The Ion delivers all three of these features using the latest cushion technology: Aqua-guard zipper, anti-wicking seam thread, silver impregnated X-Static® anti-microbial stretch fabric, and reticulated foam. On the surface, it looks like a simple skin protection cushion. Under the hood, it's a high-tech machine. Wt capacity: 300 lbs. Widths of 22-24" have weight capacity of 500lbs.

• The JAY Ion's inner cover features specially coated anti-wicking seam thread to prevent moisture from wicking through the seam holes. This same type of thread meets US Military specifications.
• The inner cover also features specially coated Aqua-guard zipper designed to repel moisture. Its zipper uses a reverse coil to lock the fluid resistant coating sections together. Result: the inner foam stays dry and odor free.
• The inner moisture-resistant polyurethane-coated cover is made with Lycra®. This remarkable material allows the cover to easily stretch and conform to the individual's shape. Without the ability to stretch, there is always the potential for surface-tension pressure to develop under the user's ischial tuberosities, which can increase the potential of a tissue breakdown.
• Because the inner foam is not the only place odors are a problem, the Ion's outer X-static® cover is impregnated with silver. Silver helps eliminate bacteria and also binds with ammonia and denatured proteins to accelerate the odor reduction process.
• X-static® silver impregnated fiber fabric is made with pure silver, a naturally occurring element.
• The firmness of each JAY Ion cushion is determined by the user's width. It makes little sense for a lightweight user to sit on a stiff cushion, or a heavy user to sit on a overly soft cushion. For this reason, narrow JAY Ion cushions are less firm, and wide JAY Ion cushions are more firm.
