Why Choose the Vicair Active O2?

Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Treatment

Pressure ulcers (also called pressure sores or bedsores) are a serious concern for wheelchair users. The Vicair Active O2 is specifically designed to help prevent pressure ulcers through its advanced SmartCell technology and strategic pressure redistribution. It's also an effective addition to a comprehensive pressure ulcer treatment plan for stages I through IV.

Perfect for Active Lifestyles

Unlike many wheelchair cushions that prioritize comfort at the expense of functionality, the Vicair Active O2 is engineered for users who transfer frequently. The foam front provides a stable platform that makes getting in and out of your wheelchair easier, while the SmartCell rear maintains exceptional pressure relief. This balance makes it ideal for individuals with spinal cord injuries, paraplegia, or multiple sclerosis who maintain an active lifestyle.

Superior Comfort & Support

The combination of ergonomic foam and SmartCell technology creates a unique comfort profile. Users report feeling stable and supported without the sensation of "floating" that some air-only cushions provide. This stability, combined with excellent pressure relief, makes the Vicair Active O2 a top choice for long-term comfort.

Easy Maintenance

Hygiene is crucial for wheelchair users. The Vicair Active O2's fully machine washable design means you can keep your cushion clean and fresh without complicated procedures. Simply remove the foam inlay and wash the cover and SmartCell sections in your washing machine.
