Components of the Varilite Zoid PSV Wheelchair Cushion

1. Air Foam floatation

This cushion is constructed from three types of foam; soft foam for the decubitus-sensitive area of the IT's; medium foam for main seat support area; and firm foam for the perimeter. 

2. Positioning supports

This extra firm, bevelled doam increased lateral stability and sitting balance, which creating a large ischial pan which protects the pelvis. This is designed with no medial thigh separator so lower extremities can come into midline for better fit in tapered chair. 

3. PSV Valve for adjusting air volume

The Zoid is supplied ass standard with a Pressure Setting Valve (PSV). The PSV is marked with three pre-set positions, which provide the best range of immersion for most users. The PSV works by sensing the amount of internal cushion pressure and automatically shutting off the flow when it senses enough pressure has been released. A therapist can mark a difference position of the PSV if the user falls outside the pre-determined range. To adjust the Zoid, the user, sitting on a fully inflated Zoid, would open the PSV to the appropriate position. The PSV will release air, reducing the pressure, when the PSV senses that enough has been released it will automatically shut off the flow. Adjustment is simple and consistent. 

4. Cover

The Varilite Zoid Wheelchair Cushion comes complete with either a water-resistant or mesh cover made from breathable two-way stretch fabric. Both covers are machine washable and tumble dryable, and meet the ISO 7176-16 fire ignition resistance standard.
