Star Standard Air

Standard Air is a classic single chamber vertical air cell cushion with pressure redistribution qualities.

Free Air Flow
The Standard Air cushion can be adjusted to ensure the user is optimally immersed, thus enabling excellent pressure redistribution.

Standard Air’s interconnected air cell structure creates a free airflow throughout the cushion, allowing it to adjust continuously to the user’s body shape as they move in their seat.

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

Standard Air has excellent pressure redistibution properties. The air cells adapt to the body structure and reduce the risk of tissure deformation. Perfect for prevention and care of pressure ulcers.

 

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

Single Chamber
Single chamber entails only one valve adjustment. The Standard Air Cushion is ideal for easy handling.

One compartment with dynamic stability
The air cells adapt to the body structure and follow the user´s smallest movement without compressing the tissue. This can aid blood circulation. Perfect for users with a low activity level.

Immersion and envelopment
The air cells allow the user to immerse into the cushion and obtain the best envelopment. The higher the cells, the more immersion. The Standard Air is available in 5 and 10 cm cell heights.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Star Standard Air wheelchair cushion?

The Star Standard Air is an air-cell wheelchair cushion designed to provide pressure redistribution through immersion and envelopment. Its interconnected vertical air cells allow air to move freely throughout the cushion, helping it adapt to the user’s body shape and movements while seated.

How does the Star Standard Air cushion help with pressure care?

The interconnected air cells allow the user to immerse into the cushion, helping distribute pressure across a wider contact area. The cells adapt to the body’s shape as the user moves, supporting pressure redistribution. The cushion should be selected and adjusted according to the individual’s skin-protection needs and clinical assessment.

Can the air pressure in the Star Standard Air cushion be adjusted?

Yes. The Star Standard Air has a single air compartment, so the air level is adjusted using one valve. This allows the cushion to be set up to provide an appropriate level of immersion for the individual user. Correct adjustment is important, and the cushion should be checked in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the user’s seating plan.

What cell heights are available for the Star Standard Air cushion?

The Star Standard Air is available with 5 cm or 10 cm vertical air cells. The higher cells allow greater immersion, which may be beneficial for some users who require more envelopment. The right height depends on the user’s clinical needs, posture, wheelchair dimensions and the available seat-to-floor height.

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

Both cushions use interconnected vertical air cells and a single air compartment. The Star Standard Air allows free airflow between its cells, while the Star StabilAir includes soft foam cylinders inside the cells to slow airflow and provide additional seating stability. The Standard Air is intended for users who need pressure redistribution without additional postural or stability features; StabilAir may be worth considering when more stability is required.

Who is the Star Standard Air cushion suitable for?

The Star Standard Air is designed for wheelchair users who need pressure redistribution and immersion but do not have additional postural or stability requirements that call for another cushion design. An occupational therapist or seating specialist can help determine whether it is suitable based on the user’s skin integrity, posture, activity level and wheelchair setup.
