for Pressure Relief.
Which cushion will
work best for you?
Lacura offers a wide range of seat cushions that focus on a better microclimate.
The Trouble with
Wheelchair Cushions
With the wrong wheelchair seat cushion, poor positioning and a lack of support can cause pressure sores, back pain, and severe discomfort.
For first-time wheelchair users, the number of options for pressure relief can quickly become overwhelming and confusing.
Here’s What You Need to Know
Microclimate
A Small Concept with A Huge Impact
Heat
Choose a cushion designed to draw heat away from the contact area. Gel cushions and cushions with breathable covers can prevent overheating.
Moisture
Too much moisture is a factor in skin breakdown. Choose a wheelchair cushion that wicks moisture and offers a cooling air flow.
Pressure
If you’re experiencing areas of pressure in your wheelchair seat, a pressure relief cushion can prevent skin irritation and maintain better blood flow.
Lacura offers a wide range of seat cushions that focus on a better microclimate.
“Lacura makes seat cushions designed to accommodate just about any wheelchair user.
I trust these cushions to provide my client’s with the pressure relief they need at a price they can afford.“

The low-profile Q-Gel Cushion is perfect for those with back pain & pelvic instability. This cushion features quad gel chambers for moderate pressure relief.
“The Q-Gel cushion features all the stabilizing and pressure relieving benefits of gel that so many patients require.“

Lacura Wedge Cushion
The wedge cushion is designed to reduce the femur to back angle, inhibiting extensor tone and preventing pelvic migration.
“A great economical option to inhibit tone and keep the pelvis back in the chair. No more sliding forward!“

Removable Pommel Cushion
Many cushions have a mounted pommel in the middle of the cushion, which makes transfers difficult.
“Finally! An abductor cushion that promotes safe transfers out of the wheelchair.“

Lacura Anti-Thrust Cushion
This unique cushion is higher in the front and lower in the back to prevent the user from sliding forward. The cushion helps maintain proper pelvic alignment while maximizing comfort.
“We use this cushion all the time to reduce pelvic migration and promote a stable pelvis!“
