Liberty cushion is designed to be used as described in this manual. Please
read the whole manual before use.
The cushion consists of the following parts:
Inner cushion
The inner cushion is made of a polyvinyl bag, filled with a specific number of
triangular, air filled SmartCells™ and a small amount of lubricant. The Liberty PT has
two compartments. A valve is fitted in the right rear corner.
Outer cover
Two types of outer cover are available:
• Comfair, made of breathable fabric.
• Incontinence, made of waterproof incontinence-resistant material.
Both cover types have an anti-slip bottom surface and a two-way stretchable top
surface. As the bottom of the cover is also provided with strips of Velcro tape, it is
possible to fixate the cushion onto the wheelchair seat.
Pelvic stabilizer
The pelvic stabilizer (PS) is an optional item, which can be used together with the
Liberty PT model. The hard foam plate has a semi-circle recess, which effectively
prevents tilting of the pelvis.
Checking the cushion size
Together with your therapist or dealer, make sure the cushion fits the dimensions of
your body and of your wheelchair.
Width: The cushion should match the width of the wheelchair seat. If your wheelchair
has armrests or side-guards that are capable of containing the cushion, the cushion
may be up to 2 cm (0.8”) wider. Make sure the cushion cannot interfere with the
wheel spokes.
Length: The cushion should match the length of the wheelchair seat, or be up to 2.5
cm (1”) longer.
