Description

The Vicair Active O2 9 cm High is designed specifically for active wheelchair users who need a cushion that supports movement, frequent transfers and reliable pressure care. Combining ergonomically shaped foam at the front with four rear SmartCell compartments, it provides excellent pelvic stability while offloading the sitting bones and tailbone. The foam front offers a steady surface for smooth transfers and improved wheelchair handling, while the rest of the cushion remains fully breathable and machine washable at 60°C once the foam insert is removed. Lightweight at around 1.25 kg, it is ideal for manual wheelchairs and for users with low to very high pressure injury risk. A handy front storage pouch keeps personal items within easy reach.

FAQ's

How do I disinfect my Vicair cushion?

The cushion cover can be machine washed inside-out. See instructions on the label attached to the inside of the cover.

How do I clean my Vicair cushion cover?

The SmartCells that are used in the Vicair O2 wheelchair cushions can be machine-washed (while they stay inside the cushion) without shortening the life span of the cells. This latest generation machine washable Vicair SmartCells is grey with an all-over black Vicair logo print. The cushions in our Vicair O2 range are fully machine-washable.

Can I wash the Vicair cells?

Check the cushion label to make sure if your cushion is a Vicair O2 cushion or not!

Cleaning your Vicair O2 cushion is very easy!
Your Vicair O2 cushion can be machine washed at 60°C using an anti-crease cycle and mild detergent. You do not need to remove the SmartCells before putting the cushion into the washing machine. Make sure the topside of the cushion is not placed against the glass of the washer door. Do not load the machine with more than half of its maximum load weight. Spin speed should be reduced. When using a machine with agitator, make sure that the cushion can move freely within the drum. Do not use any chlorine bleach and do not dry clean. Do not tumble dry your Vicair O2 cushion but let it air dry (5-6 hours). You can use the sling to hang dry your Vicair O2 cushion. Please note: when washing the Vicair Active O2, first remove the Foam inlay. The Foam inlay cannot be machine washed. 

Your cushion is from the – now discontinued – Vicair classic range (➡ your cushion label mentions “Academy” and/or does not mention “O2” in the article name): 
• Treat light stains by wiping the inner cushion with a damp cloth, using a mild detergent.
• Difficult spots or stains can be cleaned by first saturating the spot and then using a soft brush to loosen the dirt, or by machine washing the emptied inner cover at 60°.
• If it is necessary to remove the SmartCells™ for cleaning, note the number of cells in each compartment.

How do I clean my Vicair cushion?

In case of soiling with body fluids, and when transferring the cushion to another user, the cushion must be disinfected to avoid cross contamination. Clean the inner cushion and the outer cover as described above. When washing the outer cover or Vicair O2 cushion, preferably use an anti-bacterial agent. Spray disinfectant on the cushion cover and the cushion. Bend the compartments outwards to make sure that the spray mist gets into the gaps.
