The Protekt Ultra Cushion is a multi-layer foam cushion with both ultra-high density and soft gel-infused foams to support the user and provide comfort. The soft top layer is a gel-infused Visco foam that allows for an ideal level of immersion into the surface of the cushion for comfort and stability. The lower layer consists of a contoured, ultra-high density foam. It offers medial and lateral side supports to help with positioning and trochanter cutouts for optimum pressure redistribution. An inner gel bladder helps to reduce pressure and reinforce pelvic support. The Ultra has a nylon stretch cover that is both breathable and low-shear to protect the skin. A safety buckle helps to keep the cushion in place while the user moves.

What Makes This Different

The high density foam provides a firm base as well as permitting your pelvis to sink in for stability and comfort.  A dual chamber bladder prevents the gel from spreading so the gel bladder remains under you helping to keep you comfortable and not raising your body temperature.  Proactive Medical’s Visco top helps reduce the risk of pressure sores by moving heat away from the body quicker than most standard foam cushions.

Why We Like It

The Ultra combines all the great features of Proactive Medical’s other gel and foam models into this one model.  Most pressure sores are the result of perspiration.  The gel and foam used on the Ultra work to keep your body temperature down in those areas making contact with the cushion.  Gel compartments, molded, high density pressure sensitive foam work to properly position you and keep you as comfortable as possible.  

What You Need to Know When Ordering
