Vicair Vector O2 Cushion

The Vicair Vector O2 offers excellent stability, skin protection and comfort for wheelchair users at low to very high risk of pressure injury. Available in two height options, 6 cm and 10 cm, it features a unique nine compartment layout that helps offload the ITs and coccyx while enhancing pelvic stability, thigh positioning and leg guidance. Filled with air filled SmartCells for optimal pressure redistribution, it supports improved upper body function and expanded reach. The cushion is 100 percent breathable for effective temperature and moisture regulation, ultra light at around 725 g (average) and fully machine washable at 60°C with the SmartCells in place. Supplied with a Vicair Comfair Cover and available in multiple widths and depths, it can be matched to a wide range of seating needs.

The Vicair Vector O2 is supplied with a Vicair Comfair Cover made from multi dimensional stretch material. Its ergonomic shape and rear pleats support improved envelopment and immersion. The breathable fabric allows air transmission and heat dissipation, while the anti slip bottom and hook and loop strips help keep the cushion securely in place. The cover includes a special zip puller for easier opening and closing, and a rear metal eyelet that helps identify the back of the cushion when fitted. The cover is machine washable.

Vicair Technology- What’s in There?

The unique Vicair technology is based on what Vicair call ‘SmartCells’. When people see SmartCells they often ask “What’s inside the triangles?”. The answer to that is really quite simple and short: “air”.

To be precise however, the SmartCells aren’t ‘triangles’: the shape is officially called a tetrahedron – not quite a triangle, also not really a pyramid but a combination of those two. So Vicair is all about packaging air in a unique way, in each of our Vicair cushions you will find hundreds of these small packages of air, hundreds of SmartCells.
