Protekt Gel Wedge Wheelchair Cushion

The Protekt Gel Wedge Cushion by Proactive Medical Products combines the positioning benefits of a wedge cushion with the pressure redistribution of a gel bladder. Designed for wheelchair users who need help reducing forward sliding while improving seated comfort, this cushion provides a more supportive seating surface than a flat wheelchair cushion or standard sling upholstery

The wedge-shaped profile helps promote posture support by encouraging a more secure seated position, while the gel bladder allows deeper immersion for improved pressure redistribution. A firm, high-density foam foundation adds stability and helps reduce pressure caused by sling-seat hammocking. Finished with a breathable, fluid-resistant stretch nylon cover and safety buckles to keep the cushion in place, the Protekt Gel Wedge Cushion is a practical option for home care, facility use, and everyday wheelchair seating

Positioning Support & Gel Pressure Relief

Wedge Design for Better Seated Stability

The Protekt Gel Wedge Cushion uses a sloped wedge profile to help reduce forward sliding and support a more secure seated position. This can be especially helpful for users who have difficulty maintaining posture on a flat cushion or sling-seat wheelchair

By encouraging the user to remain better positioned in the seat, the wedge shape supports alignment, comfort, and daily seated stability

Gel Bladder for Deeper Immersion

The gel bladder adds pressure redistribution beyond what a basic foam wedge cushion can provide. By allowing the user to immerse into the cushion surface, the gel layer helps reduce concentrated pressure beneath sensitive seated areas and improves comfort during extended sitting

Firm Foam Foundation for Support

A high-density foam base provides stable support beneath the gel bladder. This firm foundation helps reduce the hammocking effect common with sling-seat wheelchairs while creating a stronger seating surface for posture and positioning

Cover, Secure Fit & Daily Use

The Protekt Gel Wedge Cushion includes a stretch nylon cover designed for routine wheelchair use. The cover is breathable for comfort, fluid resistant for protection, and practical for daily care needs

Safety buckles help secure the cushion to the wheelchair seat, reducing unwanted shifting during transfers, transport, or everyday mobility
