Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wheelchair cushions are available from LCS Ltd?
LCS Ltd offers a wide range of wheelchair cushions designed to address different needs for comfort, pressure redistribution and postural support. The range includes ActivCair, Ki Mobility Axiom and Axiom for Kids cushions, Pro Medicare Inserto cushions, and Etac Star cushions. Options include air-cell technology, contoured positioning designs and customisable cushion structures to suit different users and seating requirements.
How do I choose the right wheelchair cushion?
The right wheelchair cushion depends on the user’s posture, mobility, skin integrity, pressure care requirements and daily activities. Some cushions prioritise pressure redistribution, while others provide additional pelvic positioning, stability or temperature and moisture management. A seating assessment with an appropriately qualified professional can help identify the most suitable cushion for the individual’s needs.
Can a wheelchair cushion help reduce the risk of pressure injuries?
Yes. A suitable wheelchair cushion can help redistribute pressure across the seated surface and support pressure management. Different designs achieve this in different ways, including air cells, specialised foam, contoured surfaces and adjustable positioning elements. However, no cushion eliminates pressure-injury risk. Cushion selection should form part of an individualised pressure care plan, including appropriate skin monitoring and pressure-relief strategies.
What is the difference between a positioning cushion and a pressure-care cushion?
A positioning cushion is designed to help support the pelvis and legs in a more stable, aligned position. A pressure-care cushion focuses on redistributing pressure to help protect the skin and underlying tissues. Some cushions combine both functions. The most appropriate choice depends on whether the user primarily needs stability, pressure management or a combination of both.
Are there wheelchair cushions designed for children or users who experience heat and moisture build-up?
Yes. LCS supplies Axiom for Kids cushions designed for paediatric seating needs. For users who experience heat and moisture build-up, the ActivCair cushion combines a 3D-printed lattice structure with optional WheelAir active airflow technology. ActivCair is available in 27 sizes, with single-density and multi-density options and configurations with or without WheelAir integration. Suitability depends on the user’s individual seating and clinical requirements.
