PRODUCT GUIDEBOOK

X-SERIES

3D MESH LINER3D Mesh Vicair® X-Series liners are breathable and promote air flow. The mesh liner and Comfort Cells™ can be washed as an assembled unit making it very low maintenance.

CONTOURED TOP SURFACEThe Versa™ X and Vector® X come with varying heights between compartmentsthat offer a pre-contoured shape, bringing superior pressure reduction results.These new geometric heights and shapes of the compartments maximize the users surface area thus greatly reducing peak and average pressure readings

COCCYGEAL INSERTThe X-Series line has a built in pelvic stabilizer that can quickly offload the highrisk, coccygeal, and I.T. region. The insert is made from a high density foam and is comprised of two parts. The main section illustrated below supports under the thighs, and the gluteal region. The center section resides under the weight bearing bony prominences. By removing the center section, (as seen below) the patient receives instant relief by offloading the high risk areas and loading the trochanters and femurs. When utilizing this feature you can expect instant reductions in peak and average pressures.

WHAT IS VICAIR®?Vicair® products are filled with hundreds of small, air-filled Comfort Cells™. Together these cells provide reliable and stable body support and superior pressure distribution.

VICAIR® TECHNOLOGY• With each cushion a predetermined number of Comfort Cells™ are in individualized

chambers creating a ready to use seating surface.

• The Comfort Cells™ do not migrate, thus providing functional stability.

• The Vector® X, Versa™ X, and Adjuster® X cushions are shaped and designed to provide offloading of the bony prominences. The Liberty® X is designed to function as an immersion style cushion.

COVER OPTIONS

Comfort Cells™, when slightly compressed, slide against each other and settle into position under the weight of an individual creating contour, envelopment, and pressure redistribution.

Comfort Cells™ are constructed of a soft material with thin outer walls allowing them to easily slide, conform, and settle around the user.

Comfort Cells™ can be added to or removed from specially designed chambers in the cushion shell to optimize the positioning features of the cushion to the individual user.

COMFORT CELL™ TECHNOLOGY

Stretch-Air™ is designed to be airy and breathable with superior stretch. Stretch-Air™ provides heat dissipation for comfort while the multi-directional stretch contributes to pressure relief by allowing the user to gain the full benefits of the back support or cushion design. It’s latex-free.

Comfort-Tek™ is smooth and strong yet extremely soft for amazing comfort. The multidirectional stretch provides pressure relief by allowing the fabric to better conform to the individual’s unique shape. Designed for infection control and as an incontinence barrier, Comfort-Tek™ is easily cleaned with common disinfectants and is latex-free.

FOAM BASE

The main cushion component is designed with a completely sealed PVC liner containing a front and rear chamber. The cushion liner holds Comfort Cells™ coated in a silicone lubricant giving them a slow moving yet fluid like motion when conforming to the user.

The liner also has an air valve, that when opened, allows the excess air to escape after a user sits. Once the air has escaped and the cushion has taken on the fitted shape of the user, the air valve can be closed and the cushion will then retain its shape. This vacuum forming technique with the silicone coated Comfort Cells™ captures the user’s shape every time.

A foam base is installed separately under the main cushion component to provide additional femoral support and trochanter loading to the main Vicair® insert.

A separate cover made of Comfort-Tek™ material covers the foam base giving it superior incontinence protection and infection control. Foam must be removed while laundering cover.

“Optimal pressure distribution in combination with stability is what makes the Vicair® cushion a functional seat cushion”

“I recently used the Vicair cushion with a patient who recently suffered a very high, cervical level, spinal cord injury. The pressure mappings turned out well and the patient has remained well positioned, functional, free from skin integrity issues, and comfortable. “

“All Star prefers the Vicair cushion over any other skin protective cushion because of its minimal maintenance, pressure mapping, and increased patient compliance. Its stability and adjustability out match its competition in several ways. As a supplier, we needed an air cushion without the hassle of inflatable bladders. We needed an air cushion that was user-friendly for the high percentage of geriatric patient’s we serviced. Vicair technology was the answer we were looking for, and gave our company a competitive marketing advantage for so many of our referrals sources. We feel the key to Vicair is its functionality and maintenance-free pre-filled air packets.”

“The adjustability with the Vicair® cushion is a tremendous feature. Also, it’s very durable, lightweight, and easy to keep clean. I’ve tried various Roho designs prior to the Vicair, but found that the Roho wasn’t healing my wound. Also, the Roho has a tendency to make me sweat because of its non-porous design. Some other issues I had with it were it loses desired pressure, easily punctures, and doesn’t provide the stability that I needed.”

“I’m totally impressed with the Adjuster Cushion. I never had a client smile so much and say “No Pain” the second he sat on it. Thanks again for Everything!”

“I’m a long time T-12 SCI paraplegic. I started sitting on a Vicair cushion six years ago after using another air cushion for 20 plus years. I pressure mapped really well on the Vicair before I decided to make the switch. I love the fact that it is extremely lightweight with absolutely no maintenance. It provides me with the pressure relief that I want and has the adjustability to change as my needs do. But probably the most important thing for me about my Vicair cushion is, I haven’t had to put my mouth on a valve stem in six years. I’ve been in the DME Industry for 20 years. And after sitting on my Vicair cushion for 2 years I liked it so much, I went to work for the company”

"Hi my name is JD, and I am a T 10 Para and have been for 24 years. I have had many cushion over the years, and for the past 3 years I have been using the adjuster cushion because I have a three inch pelvic obliquity and there was nothing out there on the market besides going to a fixed cushion to help me out. I have enjoyed the cushion so far. "

“Thank You for introducing me to the Vicair® cushions. I recently had a patient with a stage 2 decubutus ulcer. We previously had him on a competitors air cushion and were not able to keep his pelvis positioned correctly and we were also having problems keeping the cushion inflated. Since putting him on the Adjuster with Vicair® cushion with proper adjustments to the anti thrust, we were able to keep his pelvis back and he is not sliding forward any longer. Although I have not been asked to re-visit him since this time I do continually check with the staff and there have been no reports of skin redness or any problems keeping him in the chair.“
