Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mediano wheelchair cushion?
The Mediano by Pro Medicare is a modular wheelchair positioning cushion designed to provide medium-to-high postural support and comprehensive pelvic containment. It offers lateral, anterior and posterior support around the pelvis, helping wheelchair users maintain a more stable seated position while accommodating individual anatomical differences and postural asymmetries.
How does the Mediano cushion support pelvic positioning?
The Mediano incorporates Pro Medicare’s patented Pelvic Total Support (PTS) technology, together with 16 or 17 configurable structural inserts. These allow seating specialists to provide targeted support around the pelvis and thighs, accommodating postural presentations such as pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, windswept posture, anterior and posterior pelvic tilt, and leg-length discrepancies.
Its modular design enables individualised positioning according to the user’s clinical requirements.
Is the Mediano cushion suitable for wheelchair users with complex postural needs?
Yes. The Mediano is designed for individuals requiring medium-to-high postural support, including those with moderate-to-severe pelvic asymmetries or difficulty maintaining a stable seated position.
It may be considered for wheelchair users with acquired brain injuries, neuromuscular conditions or degenerative conditions affecting posture and mobility. Suitability should always be determined through an individual clinical seating assessment.
Can the Mediano cushion be customised as a user's needs change?
Yes. The Mediano features a modular structural kit containing 16 inserts for adult sizes and 17 for paediatric sizes. These independent, pre-shaped closed-cell polyethylene components can be configured to provide targeted positioning support.
An appropriately trained seating professional can modify the arrangement to accommodate changes in posture, body shape or clinical requirements over time, within the manufacturer’s guidelines.
What sizes are available for the Mediano wheelchair cushion?
The Mediano is available in 13 paediatric and adult sizes, ranging from 25 × 30 cm to 48 × 50 cm (width × depth).
Its manufacturer’s stated maximum user weight is 135 kg for the largest model. The appropriate size should be selected according to the user’s body measurements, wheelchair dimensions and individual positioning requirements.
Does the Mediano cushion provide pressure redistribution and seated comfort?
Yes. The Mediano combines its configurable structural base with a layered padding system designed to support comfort and pressure distribution.
The rear section includes an upper layer of slow-return viscoelastic foam and a lower memory-foam layer, while the front incorporates separate viscoelastic pads to accommodate the thighs. Its breathable New 3D cover is designed for incontinence management and is antibacterial, flame-retardant and latex-free.
Although Mediano may be considered for users with elevated pressure-care needs, no cushion can guarantee the prevention of pressure injuries. Selection and configuration should follow an individual clinical assessment.
