Star StabilAir

The StabilAir cushion is a single chamber vertical air cell cushion with foam baffles for added stability, making the StabilAir the perfect first air cushion.

Slowed Airflow Enhancing Stability
Each StabilAir cushion has two sizes of foam cylinders which are higher on the outside, while those under the buttocks, coccyx and legs are lower. The foam cylinders in the air cells function as baffles, slowing the movement of air and enhancing stability. The air pocket above the foam similarly enables effective pressure redistribution, just like all Star Cushions.

Ideal cushion solution if used to a foam cushion
StabilAir is the ideal cushion solution for users who are used to the feel of a foam cushion but need the protection of a vertical air cell cushion.

Star Sentinel + StabilAir

StabilAir and Sentinel make the perfect combination for a ‘go anywhere’ wheelchair seating cushion without the complexity of a locking mechanism. Together they provide the ultimate air cushion — a cushion which automatically adjusts to changes in altitude or wheelchair tilt angle.

Vertical Air Cell

Interconnected vertical air cell cushions have long been used for pressure redistribution due to high envelopment and immersive properties and reduced surface tension.

 

Pressure Redistribution

The interconnected air cells ensure excellent pressure redistribution properties, continually readjusted to the user’s shape as they move in their seat.

 

Adjustability
The air level can be adjusted and reset again and again to achieve the optimal amount of immersion for the individual.

Foam Baffles
Each cell has a built-in soft foam cylinder, which acts as a baffle, slowing air movement throughout the cushion to increase stability. In addition, the foam cylinders are higher on the side to maximise stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Star StabilAir wheelchair cushion?

The Star StabilAir is an air-cell wheelchair cushion designed to combine pressure redistribution with improved sitting stability. Its interconnected air cells contain soft foam cylinders that slow the movement of air within the cushion, helping provide a more stable seating surface while allowing the user to immerse into the cushion.

How does the Star StabilAir cushion work?

The Star StabilAir uses interconnected vertical air cells with built-in foam cylinders, which act as baffles to slow airflow between cells. The air above the foam allows the cushion to adapt to the user’s shape, supporting immersion, envelopment and pressure redistribution. The air level can be adjusted to help achieve an appropriate seating setup.

What are the benefits of the Star StabilAir cushion?

The Star StabilAir combines several features to support wheelchair seating:

  • Pressure redistribution through interconnected air cells.

  • Improved stability compared with a conventional air-cell cushion, helped by the internal foam cylinders.

  • A contoured design, with higher foam cylinders around the outside.

  • A single air compartment, requiring adjustment at just one valve.

  • A choice of two cell heights to suit different seating requirements.

What is the difference between the Star StabilAir and Star Standard Air cushions?

Both cushions use interconnected vertical air cells to support pressure redistribution. The key difference is that the StabilAir contains soft foam cylinders inside its air cells. These slow air movement and improve stability, while the Standard Air is a more conventional single-chamber air-cell cushion. The best option depends on the user’s positioning, stability and pressure-care needs.

What sizes and cell heights are available for the Star StabilAir cushion?

The Star StabilAir is available in a range of widths and depths to suit different wheelchair seat dimensions. It comes in two cell heights: 7.5 cm and 10 cm. The appropriate size should be selected by measuring the wheelchair seat and considering the user’s posture, positioning and clinical requirements. Check the product sizing information for the available combinations.

Who is the Star StabilAir cushion suitable for?

The Star StabilAir may suit wheelchair users who require pressure redistribution and greater seating stability, particularly those who prefer a more foam-like feel but need the features of an air-cell cushion. Suitability should be determined through an individual assessment, taking account of posture, skin integrity, comfort, transfers and wheelchair configuration.
