Gel + Foam Cushioning Where You Need It Most
The Span America Gel-T Cushion blends the supportive properties of foam with the pressure-relieving benefits of gel to deliver exceptional comfort and skin protection for wheelchair users. Its exclusive segmented gel-filled bladder keeps gel from migrating, maintaining consistent support under high-risk areas like the ischial bones. Surrounded by dual soft foam layers, this cushion maximizes immersion while reducing friction, shear, and pain. It’s ideal for individuals at moderate risk of pressure ulcers and suitable for home or facility use. The durable, wipe-clean vinyl cover also accommodates an optional Sling-Fill Base.
