Equagel Protector Cushion
SKU: EQUAGELPROTECTEquaGel cushions are designed with two layers of rubbery dry-polymer gel. It is not a liquid. It works on a principle referred to as column buckling. Each gel wall can only support a marginal load. When that threshold is exceeded, it buckles under and passes the weight to the surrounding walls, thereby effectively distributing the pressure by maximising the surface area.
Description
EquaGel cushions are designed with two layers of rubbery dry-polymer gel. It is not a liquid. It works on a principle referred to as column buckling. Each gel wall can only support a marginal load. When that threshold is exceeded, it buckles under and passes the weight to the surrounding walls, thereby effectively distributing the pressure by maximising the surface area. Available in a range of sizes, the Equagel Protector has a height of 6.3cm with 4.5cm of buckling gel under the pressure points.
The top comfort layer comprises thin wall gel in a tight grid and the bottom layer is thicker wall gel with a wider grid for deep posture support. The contoured pelvic area provides additional pressure distribution while maintaining gel below the pressure points.
