More About This Product
AliMed Low-Profile Anti-Thrust Cushion features a convex Solid Seat Insert base, which nestles into a sling seat wheelchair to ensure level seating with minimal seat rise. Provides the anti-thrust protection needed when extensor tone is present. Effective alternative to pommel wheelchair cushions for those who find pommels uncomfortable.

Anti-Thrust helps prevent forward sliding.
Anti-Thrust Positioning Cushions
have a higher front surface and a lower rear
surface to help prevent forward sliding in the
wheel chair. The sloped region between the front and rear surfaces is positioned in front of
the ischial tuberosities to keep the pelvis in a
neutral position and help support upright sitting.
Anti-thrust protection can be helpful when
extensor tone is present. Anti-thrust cushions
offer a comfortable slide-control alternative to
pommel cushions, especially for male patients.
AliMed Anti-Thrust Seat Base Flat Base
models can be used on any flat chair surface, on top of a solid seat insert, or on a wheelchair board.
Convex Base models are intended for use with
sling-seat wheelchairs.
Construction Anti-thrust cushions are available
in a variety of materials to meet specific needs. Choose a firm or high-density foam for greater stability, a softer foam for greater conformity, or
a temper foam for pressure redistribution. Gel-topped
models feature additional comfort and
protection. The aqueous (water-based) cushion
delivers cooling comfort, and the premium
polymer gel (like T-Gel ) minimizes friction and
shear forces for maximum skin protection. In
addition, most anti-thrust cushions have nonslip
bottoms and/or rear safety ties to help hold the
cushion in position.
