Cover Warranty: 3 Months

To Clean the Cover

Remove the cover from the seat cushion. Machine wash in lukewarm
water and air dry. No ironing is required. We do not recommend machine
drying in order to prevent the breakdown of the moisture proof urethane
laminate on the inside of the cover.

To Clean the Molded Foam Core

To clean the foam core simply spot clean or wipe with moist warm cloth.
Avoid submerging the base in water. Place the cover back over the molded
foam core insuring that the back of the cover will match the back of the
foam core.

The General

Wheelchair Cushion

A Comfortable Molded Contoured Foam Cushion

Designed to Provide Seating Positioning & Comfort

for Clients who are at Low Risk for Skin Breakdown

Custom Foam Core with Progressive
Support Technology (PST)

PST produces the right degree of cushion
firmness. Smaller, lightweight clients receive
a soer more compliant cushion, average
adults receive a medium firmness while
larger heavier clients receive a firmer more
supporve cushion. The unique construcon
of high resiliency (HR) molded foam provides
maximum stabilizaon, posioning, pressure
relief and correct seang posture.

The General™ Cushion Cover

Outer cover is a removable, washable,
flame retardant, stretch polyester knit to
reduce interface pressure and shearing. It

is constructed with a vapor permeable mois-

ture proof urethane backing and a non-slip
boom for comfort and safety.

Use and Applicaon of the Pressure EEZ®
General™ Wheelchair Cushion

The General™ Cushion is designed to posion the
client while seated providing correct seang posture,
maximum seang comfort, and pressure relief.

Remember, no cushion can eliminate seang
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 inconnent cushion nor should it be
submerged in water or used as a bathtub seang product. Replacement
covers are available from your Hudson dealer.

Size Selecon 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 distribuon of
the cushion and its proper posioning 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 tuberosies (sing bones) should
be centered in the seat in the center of the seang area.

The footrest should be adjusted properly in order to enhance seang
comfort and help to lower peak seang pressures. In order to prevent The
General™ Cushion from sliding on the wheelchair upholstery, especially
during transfers, follow instrucons 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 boom of the uphol­stered General™ Cushion as well as the non-slip

surface and the Velcro® strip placed on the seat

will prevent sliding when changing body

posion while seated.

The Pressure EEZ® General Cushion™

Provides custom comfort, pressure relief
and correct seang posture in all sizes –
Junior, Adult and Bariatric sizes.
