Instruction Manual
Use and Applicaon of the Pressure EEZ®
General™ Wheelchair Cushion
The General™ Cushion is designed to posion the
client while seated providing correct seang posture,
maximum seang comfort, and pressure relief.
Remember, no cushion can eliminate seang
pressure or totally prevent pressure sores, therefore,
you should regularly check for skin redness as a noted
indicator of ssue breakdown. The General™ Cushion
may be used in a sling seat wheelchair or with a solid
seat insert or a Hudson Seat Mate.
The General™ Cushion has a moisture resistant cover designed to repel
fluids but it is not intended as an inconnent cushion nor should it be
submerged in water or used as a bathtub seang product. Replacement
covers are available from your Hudson dealer.
Size Selecon of the Pressure EEZ® General™ Wheelchair Cushion
Simply select the cushion that would match the width of your hips when
seated. Cushion size should not be determined by the wheelchair seat width.
Improper cushion fit will affect the performance of pressure distribuon of
the cushion and its proper posioning support of the body.
The length of the cushion should be determined by placing the cushion at
the back of the wheelchair while the length extends to the front within 1" to
2" from the back of the knees. The ischial tuberosies (sing bones) should
be centered in the seat in the center of the seang area.
The footrest should be adjusted properly in order to enhance seang
comfort and help to lower peak seang pressures. In order to prevent The
General™ Cushion from sliding on the wheelchair upholstery, especially
during transfers, follow instrucons below:
STEP 1. Thoroughly clean the surface of the
wheelchair seat.
STEP 2. Peel off the paper backing of the Velcro®
strip provided and place 2" from the front, in
the center of the wheelchair seat, as shown.
STEP 3. Place the cushion on the wheelchair.
The Velcro® strip on the boom of the uphol-
stered General™ Cushion as well as the non-slip
surface and the Velcro® strip placed on the seat
will prevent sliding when changing body
posion while seated.
