More Details

The Jay J2 Plus Cushion offers the bariatric client all the clinical benefits of the Jay J2 Cushion with a weight capacity of 295kg.

Product highlights
Choice of three seat well insert packages allow customisation of the cushion.
For people who are at low risk for skin breakdown, both standard and custom foam packages are available. These packages feature layers of Visco foam that stack into the seat well. For patients at high risk, fluid pad inserts are available.

Multiple Cover Selections
To provide for a variety of needs, the Jay J2 Cushion features two types of covers: a Tritex air exchange cover which promotes cool air movement, and an incontinent resistant low shear cover that combines the benefits of incontinent resistance and low shear. Both covers feature zipper closures.

Removable Urethane Overlay Cover
The Jay J2 Plus Cushion offers a removable urethane overlay cover to protect from incontinence damage. A hook & loop attachment flap on one end, allows the therapist easy access to the foam overlay, making it possible to change the seat well insert at any time.

Anterior Sloped Cushion Base
Most bariatric people have a problem with slumping forward. This is caused by the downward pull of their stomachs. By providing a slight anterior tilt to the cushion base, the hip angle is opened up enabling people to sit more upright.

Because redundant tissue expands to create wide hips, it is important to maintain a seat well that is still within the confines of the actual bone structure. Since most pelvic bone structures do not usually extend beyond 460mm, all Jay J2 Plus Cushions maintain seat wells of 330mm in width.

The cushion base is made from a closed cell foam. Modifications such as seat rail cutouts, leg length discrepancies, etc. can be made either in the field or at the factory.

Considerations

All cushions must be monitored to prevent 'bottoming out'. This occurs when the user's weight bears down so hard on the product material that it is flattened and the bony parts are pressed against the surface below the cushion. Where bottoming out occurs even with correct use (eg correct choice and depth of foam, correct inflation level) , a different product may need to be considered.
The fluid on the top layer of the cushion can be punctured
Ensure that the item is not accidentally placed upside down or back to front
