Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pucco wheelchair cushion?
The Pucco by Pro Medicare is a modular paediatric seating system designed to provide integrated pelvic and trunk support for young children with complex postural requirements. It combines a configurable seating base with a supportive backrest to help children achieve a stable, supported sitting position. It may also be considered as an alternative to a traditional moulded seating shell.
How does the Pucco cushion support a child's posture?
The Pucco uses Pro Medicare’s patented Pelvic Total Support (PTS) technology to provide targeted support around the pelvis, thighs and lower trunk. Its modular construction allows seating specialists to accommodate postural presentations such as pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, anterior or posterior pelvic tilt and windswept posture.
The integrated backrest provides additional support for children who have difficulty maintaining an upright sitting position independently.
Who is the Pucco seating system designed for?
The Pucco is designed for young children with limited postural control who require substantial pelvic and trunk support. It may be considered for children with hypotonia, neurological or neuromuscular conditions, significant postural asymmetries or specific hip-positioning requirements.
An individual clinical assessment is essential to determine whether the Pucco provides the appropriate level of support for the child.
Can the Pucco cushion be customised as a child grows?
Yes. The Pucco features 21 independent, pre-shaped closed-cell polyethylene inserts that can be configured to accommodate individual anatomical and positioning requirements.
Its structural base is adjustable in width and depth, allowing an appropriately trained seating professional to modify the system as the child’s dimensions or postural needs change, within the manufacturer’s adjustment limits.
What sizes are available for the Pucco wheelchair cushion?
The Pucco is available in two paediatric sizes:
-
UUS: 25 × 30 cm (width × depth).
-
US: 30 × 38 cm (width × depth).
The manufacturer’s stated maximum user weight is 50 kg. The Pucco is also available with different backrest heights to accommodate individual trunk-support requirements.
The correct size and configuration should be established through a paediatric seating assessment.
Does the Pucco cushion provide pressure redistribution and seated comfort?
Yes. The Pucco incorporates a layered padding system combining slow-return viscoelastic foam, open-cell memory foam and reticulated foam to provide comfort and support pressure distribution.
Its modular structural inserts allow seating specialists to tailor the support surface to the child’s anatomy, while the padding system helps provide a comfortable interface between the child and the seating system.
However, no cushion can guarantee the prevention of pressure injuries. Appropriate selection should consider the child’s skin integrity, posture, mobility and overall clinical requirements.
