Axiom sp visco

Axiom SP Visco takes advantage of the Axiom Difference and is designed to provide increased immersion, using a Viscoelastic Foam instead of the Hydrolite fluid bladder seen in the Axiom SP Fluid.

Viscoelastic Material

Viscous (changes shape slowly) and elastic

Viscoelastic material is both viscous (changes shape slowly) and elastic (it returns to its original shape). It deforms and returns to shape very slowly. There is a significant lag between when you deform viscoelastic foam and when it returns to shape. Because energy is effectively absorbed and dissipated during the time lag there is less reaction force pushing back after deformation.

Increased immersion

Allows the trochanters to bear an effective load
Axiom SP Visco is designed to provide increased immersion, allowing the trochanters to bear an effective load. This improves stability by widening the base of support and reduces the load the tissue that supports the Ischial Tuberosities must bear. A thick section of specially designed Viscoelastic foam deforms to immerse and envelop the Ischial Tuberosities.

high quality foam materials

High IFD and density
Axiom SP Fluid is constructed with foam that has a high IFD and density. The dual density polyurethane foam base offers firm support in the lower layer with a durable comfort layer on top. High-quality materials lead to a long-lasting, comfortable, and high-performing product.

Surface Tension Reduction

Reduces compression around ischia and coccyx

The viscoelastic foam insert with unique hexagonal shapes increase envelopment and reduce compression around the ischia and coccyx. The outer cover features a microclimatic spacer fabric layer with horseshoe design around the well for layer reduction allowing the foam insert to rest directly beneath the pleated 4-way stretch Lycra cover to reduce surface tension.

Pre-Contoured Shape

Increased immersion
Axiom SP Fluid has a properly designed pre-contoured shape. Axiom SP Fluid is designed to provide increased immersion, allowing the trochanters to bear an effective load, widening the base of support, and reducing the load the Ischial Tuberosities must bear.

Feature Rich Covers

4-way stretch Lycra
Axiom SP Fluid has an innovative cover that is aesthetically pleasing with functional benefits for both the client and caregiver. The super 4-way stretch Lycra outer cover reduces surface tension while the pleated 4-way stretch inner cover with self-sealing zipper is water resistant and is easy to clean. The water-resistant zipper and loop zipper pull make it simple to don and doff the cover while protecting the foam. There is an easy-to-reach front handle with utility loops for hanging accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Axiom SP Visco wheelchair cushion?

The Axiom SP Visco is a skin protection and positioning cushion from Ki Mobility, designed to provide comfort, stability and pressure redistribution. It combines a dual-density polyurethane foam base with a shaped viscoelastic foam insert that adapts to the user’s body. This design encourages immersion and envelopment, helping distribute loading across a broader support area.

How does the viscoelastic foam in the Axiom SP Visco work?

Viscoelastic foam responds gradually to pressure, moulding around the user’s body and returning to its original shape relatively slowly. In the Axiom SP Visco, the specially shaped insert is designed to immerse and envelop the sitting bones and surrounding tissues. This helps widen the base of support and reduce concentrated loading around sensitive areas.

Can the Axiom SP Visco help with pressure care?

The Axiom SP Visco is designed to support skin protection through immersion, envelopment and pressure redistribution. Its contoured shape, viscoelastic insert and stretch cover work together to reduce surface tension and support a more even distribution of loading. However, no cushion eliminates the risk of pressure injuries. Cushion selection should form part of an individualised pressure-care plan guided by an appropriate assessment.

What is the difference between the Axiom SP Visco and Axiom SP Fluid?

Both cushions share a contoured, dual-density foam base and are designed for skin protection and positioning. The key difference is the insert: the SP Visco uses shaped viscoelastic foam, while the SP Fluid uses a Hydrolite fluid bladder. The SP Visco is designed to provide increased immersion through its foam insert. A seating professional can help determine which design best suits the user’s positioning and pressure-care needs.

What sizes and cover options are available for the Axiom SP Visco?

The Axiom SP Visco is available in widths and depths ranging from 14 to 22 inches (approximately 35.6–55.9 cm). Its overall height is approximately 11.4 cm, and it weighs around 1.6 kg. The standard cover features four-way stretch Lycra, while an optional wipeable, incontinence-resistant cover is available. The manufacturer’s maximum user weight is approximately 159 kg. Confirm the required size and cover option before ordering.
