Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Basico wheelchair cushion?
The Basico by Pro Medicare is a modular wheelchair positioning cushion designed for users who require moderate postural support and secure pelvic containment. It provides lateral and anterior pelvic support while allowing users to make changes to their seated posture throughout the day.
Its adaptable design makes it suitable for individuals who require personalised positioning without the more extensive structural support of a complex seating system.
How does the Basico cushion support pelvic positioning?
The Basico incorporates Pro Medicare’s patented Pelvic Total Support (PTS) technology and six configurable structural inserts made from closed-cell polyethylene.
These inserts allow seating specialists to provide targeted support around the pelvis and thighs, helping accommodate individual anatomical differences and positioning requirements such as pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, windswept posture, leg-length discrepancies and mild anterior or posterior pelvic tilt.
Who is the Basico cushion suitable for?
The Basico is designed for wheelchair users who require moderate pelvic stability and postural support while retaining the ability to adjust their sitting position throughout the day.
It may be considered for individuals with mild-to-moderate postural asymmetries, acquired brain injuries, stroke or degenerative neurological conditions affecting seated stability.
Suitability should always be determined through an individual clinical seating assessment.
Can the Basico cushion be customised as a user's needs change?
Yes. The Basico features a modular structural kit containing six independent, pre-shaped inserts that can be configured to accommodate individual anatomical and positioning requirements.
An appropriately trained seating professional can modify the arrangement to support or accommodate changes in pelvic posture over time, within the manufacturer’s adjustment guidelines.
This provides a degree of personalisation beyond that of a conventional fixed-shape wheelchair cushion.
What sizes are available for the Basico wheelchair cushion?
The Basico is available in 13 paediatric and adult sizes, ranging from 25 × 30 cm to 48 × 50 cm (width × depth).
The manufacturer’s stated maximum user weight is 135 kg for the largest model. The cushion’s modular construction also permits dimensional adaptations within specified limits.
The correct size and configuration should be selected according to the user’s body measurements, wheelchair dimensions and individual postural requirements.
Does the Basico cushion provide pressure redistribution and seated comfort?
Yes. The Basico combines its configurable structural base with a layered padding system designed to support seated comfort and pressure distribution.
Its rear section incorporates memory foam and slow-return viscoelastic foam, while the front section uses slow-return viscoelastic foam to accommodate the thighs.
The cushion also features Pro Medicare’s breathable New 3D cover, which is designed for incontinence management and is flame-retardant, antibacterial and latex-free.
Although Basico may be considered for users with pressure-care requirements, no cushion can guarantee the prevention of pressure injuries. Appropriate selection and configuration should follow an individual clinical assessment.
