Nauco Postural Cushion

An innovative paediatric postural concept for legs and pelvis. Completely adjustable and modular to suit multiple applications, whilst being lightweight and easy to handle. Easy to adapt to many therapeutic situations and social lifestyles by encouraging full integration into daily, family life

Adaptable and Secure Pelvis-Trunk Support

NAUCO is an innovative pelvic postural unit, designed for non-ambulatory users with insufficient postural control. Fully modular, it guarantees targeted support and adaptability to different morphologies, deformities and individual needs, promoting the correct alignment of the pelvis and the support of the trunk even in combination with spinal orthoses.

Suitability
  • Users with asymmetries, gusts of wind, pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotations, pelvic retroversions or anteroversions
  • Users at risk of hip dislocations
  • Users requiring lateral leg control and thoraco-lumbar support
  • Very young children to be guided into a sitting position
  • Users with sacral/lumbar protrusion
  • Users wearing spinal orthoses

Users suffering from:

  • Injuries of traumatic and non-traumatic origin (e.g. quadriplegia)
  • Neuromuscular and genetic pathologies (e.g. dystrophy, spina bifida, leukodystrophy)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Nauco wheelchair cushion?

The Nauco by Pro Medicare is a modular paediatric wheelchair positioning cushion designed for children with limited mobility and complex postural support requirements. It provides adaptable support for the pelvis, thighs and lower trunk, helping seating specialists accommodate individual anatomical differences, asymmetries and positioning needs.

How does the Nauco cushion support pelvic positioning?

The Nauco uses Pro Medicare’s patented Pelvic Total Support (PTS) technology, together with 22 or 24 configurable structural inserts, to provide individualised pelvic positioning. These inserts can be arranged to accommodate or support the management of pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, anterior and posterior pelvic tilt, windswept posture and leg-length discrepancies. Its modular design also allows targeted support around the thighs and lower trunk.

Who is the Nauco cushion designed for?

The Nauco is primarily intended for paediatric wheelchair users with insufficient postural control who require substantial pelvic and lower-trunk support. It may be considered for children with complex neurological or neuromuscular conditions, significant postural asymmetries, spinal orthoses or specific hip-positioning requirements. Suitability and configuration should always be determined through an individual clinical seating assessment.

Can the Nauco cushion be customised as a child's needs change?

Yes. The Nauco features a modular structural kit containing 22 or 24 independent, pre-shaped closed-cell polyethylene inserts. These can be configured by an appropriately qualified professional to provide targeted support or accommodate changes in the child’s posture and anatomical requirements. Any modifications should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the prescribed seating configuration.

What sizes are available for the Nauco wheelchair cushion?

The Nauco is available in five paediatric sizes, measured by width × depth:

  • 22 × 25 cm

  • 25 × 30 cm

  • 30 × 34 cm

  • 36 × 38 cm

  • 40 × 42 cm

The manufacturer’s stated maximum user weight is 85 kg. The appropriate size should be selected according to the child’s measurements, wheelchair dimensions and individual postural requirements.

Does the Nauco cushion provide pressure redistribution?

Yes. The Nauco incorporates a layered padding system that includes memory foam and flexible polyurethane foam, designed to provide comfort and support pressure distribution. Its configurable structural inserts also allow seating specialists to tailor the support surface to the user’s anatomy.

However, no cushion can guarantee the prevention of pressure injuries. Appropriate selection should consider the child’s skin integrity, posture, mobility and overall clinical needs.
