- Standard: Prism Ideal cushion with standard four‑way stretch, water‑resistant outer cover (included). - Optional: Infection Control Cover (ICC) is an available cover type (sold/configured per order).
Condition and packaging
- Sold new by the manufacturer or authorised dealers. The photo supplied shows the cushion in its outer cover with a sewn label; no external retail box is visible in the supplied photograph.
Usage notes
- Intended for light everyday use and positioning support rather than high‑risk skin protection or heavy‑duty pressure‑care applications. - Clean the outer cover per the manufacturer instructions (the ICC and Waterproof Incontinence Cover options are designed to resist surface moisture). - Avoid prolonged exposure to liquids penetrating the cover; use the ICC/waterproof option if incontinence protection is required.
Limitations and suitability
- Not appropriate as a replacement for clinical-grade pressure‑redistribution systems for users assessed at high risk of pressure injury. - Confirm the 18" × 20" dimension matches the seat frame before purchase.
