O wheelchair anti-decubitus cushion should be chosen based on the level of risk, duration of use, user posture and wheelchair type. Evolight is a practical option for low-risk individuals, but should not be considered a universal solution for all situations. If the user has a medium or high risk of pressure ulcers, a history of pressure sores or increased skin sensitivity, a specialist assessment is recommended.

For users with more complex needs, products such as ROHO Quadtro Select Cushion, Vicair Center Relief Pillow or Vicair Adjuster O2 Pillow.

Air channels and spacer material for better microclimate

The Ottobock Evolight includes horizontal air channels integrated into the cushion core. These channels help improve air circulation during use and can help reduce heat build-up in the contact area.

The spacer material is used in two layers, according to the product presentation. This helps to wick away moisture and can contribute to a more pleasant feeling during the stay. For people who use a wheelchair daily, the microclimate is important because heat and moisture can influence comfort and skin condition.

Wheelchair attachment and removable cover

The removable cover is an important detail for maintenance. In daily use, the cushion comes into contact with clothes, skin and the surface of the wheelchair, and the ability to remove the cover can help with cleaning and hygiene. We recommend following the manufacturer's maintenance instructions to preserve the properties of the materials.

If you use the cushion together with a manual wheelchair, you can also consult the category wheelchairs. For users who need additional comfort, products in the category of comfort wheelchairs.

Also, users with reduced sensitivity, circulatory problems, diabetes, prolonged immobility or a history of bedsores should receive personalized advice from a specialist.
