Seatrite Cushioned Rigidizer: MHSRC 18'W x 16'L x 3'-1'H

A typical wheelchair/transport chair is constructed with a sling suspended between two rails. However, over time, the sling can stretch and sag when weight is applied, causing a 'hammocking' effect. This can lead to poor posture and pressure hotspots, which can potentially result in skin ulcers without proper medical intervention.

Ergonomically designed, SeatriteTM helps to create a more comfortable wheelchair/transport chair experience by neutralizing the sitting position. By doing so, it corrects posture and allows the pressure relieving cushion to evenly distribute sitting pressure over a greater surface area.

With SeatriteTM, the hammocking effect is cancelled or removed, allowing the pelvis to sit in a neutral upright position. This allows the spine to maintain its natural 'S' shape, while the cushion contouring encourages the legs to stay parallel rather than meeting at the knees.

The flatter seated position also helps to reduce pressure on the ischial or 'sitbones' by evenly dispersing pressure underneath both legs and buttocks. This promotes better blood flow and can help prevent skin ulcers. Upgrade your wheelchair/transport chair experience with SeatriteTM.
