Protective System

G&M Industries Inc, Collinsville, Ill, introduces Seat-Rite™, a breakthrough for skin protection for wheelchair users, according to the company. Designed to maximize pressure sore protection, its compact system fits conveniently under a wheelchair air cushion and connects quickly. State-of-the-art microprocessor and sensors provide instant, personalized, and consistent cushion adjustment to maximize skin surface contact for low sitting pressures. Seat-Rite monitors the cushion constantly to prevent seating problems such as bottom-out, misadjustment, and air leaks. It will adjust the cushion when needed, adding or removing air. A built-in alarm system alerts the user if a problem exists. The unit is automatic, lightweight, and self-contained. (800) 332-9836.

Front-Wheel Drive Power Wheelchair

Bruno Independent Living Aids, Oconomowoc, Wis, introduces its new front-wheel drive PWC-3300 Powerchair. The PWC-3300 offers unsurpassed performance and maneuverability, and features large, sealed precision ball bearings, a length of only 38 inches, and a tight 22-inch turning radius, making it ideal for indoor use. The PWC-3300 also provides a convenient lock/unlock control pad feature (full control at the user’s fingertips) as well as an adjustable footrest and armrests (17-inch–23-inch width) for maximum comfort. Plus, with a lifetime warranty on the PWC-3300’s heavy-duty steel frame, the PWC-3300 is exceptionally durable. In addition, the PWC-3300 features a 300-pound weight capacity.

Functional Performance Training Tool

Scandinavian Consulting Inc, Phoenix, offers the Lojer Twin Tower, a training tool for regaining the functional qualities of circulation, coordination, flexibility, endurance, power, and strength. It is available with dual weight stacks that allow for bilateral and unilateral loading, and speed of movement can be dosed in conjunction with the weight prescribed for an exercise. The adjustment arms are adjustable three-dimensionally, allowing functional variations of exercise. Exercise progressions are from basic core stability to high-speed sport performance activities. The unit is 58 inches deep, 67 inches wide, and 85 inches high, and has a pulley ratio of 6:1 or 3:1. (602) 442-2088; www.scipulleys.com.

Air Cushion

Star Cushion Products Inc, Freeburg, Ill, introduces STARLOCK, a multi-celled air cushion, adding postural control, comfort, and pressure management. The patent-pending technology enables varying degrees of airflow communication between cells. This system consists of multiple air locking mechanisms called “Lockpockets” located at the base of the cushion. As air volume within the Lockpockets expands, airflow becomes restricted and cushion stability is increased. Meeting the challenge of postural control, the product provides easy adjustment to accommodate personalized seating requirements. (888) 277-STAR; www.starcushion.com.
