Varilite Evolution and Evolution PSV

evolution

The Varilite Evolution wheelchair cushion uses air-foam flotation to provide skin protection for those at high risk of tissue breakdown, and postural support for those with symmetric positioning needs. Weighing less than 1kg, it is one of the lowest weight cushions in its class, yet is still one of the best performing, with proven and trusted dynamic and static pressure redistribution qualities, aided by the inclusion of a modifiable closed cell foam wedge for greater pressure redistribution along the thighs. As well as being the cushion of choice for therapists around the world, the ease of use with the self inflating valve, as well as robust design, make it a firm favourite with wheelchair users too.

The Varilite Evolution is also available with Pressure Setting Valve (PSV) to make cushion set-up and adjustment even easier. And for added postural support, combine with a Wave base (see Evolution & Meridian Wave for details).

Varilite Zoid PSV

zoid

The Varilite Zoid PSV is a low profile tapered cushion without a medial separator to suit active wheelchair users with a moderate risk of tissue breakdown. Combining stability, simplicity, and lightweight design with skin protection, the Zoid PSV weighs less than 900g, and is only 2.9” high, making the ideal choice on the court, on the track, or on the trail.

The roll over cover protects the thighs for those with tight hamstrings or who tuck their legs under their chair, whilst the PSV (Pressure Setting Valve) makes set-up and adjustment even easier. Postural support is achieved with the use of extra-firm bevelled foam, providing lateral stability and seating balance, while a large ischial pan protects the pelvis in both anterior and posterior pelvic tilt positions.

Varilite Reflex

reflex

The Varilite Reflex wheelchair cushion offers skin protection for those at moderate risk of tissue breakdown thanks to the air-foam flotation technology. The Reflex is ideal for nursing homes, hospitals, and other clinical environments where an effective, low maintenance skin protection wheelchair cushion is required. Thanks to the built in air-release device, air is automatically released from the cushion as the user sits on it, allowing a fixed amount of immersion and preventing bottoming out. Thus, not only is the Varilite Reflex cushion ultra-lightweight and durable, but also even simpler to use. The Reflex cushion comes with incontinence cover for added peace of mind.
