Combines the J2’s skin protection capabilities with the J3’s maximum stability
The JAY Fusion is an adjustable multi-layer wheelchair cushion that features JAY Flow Fluid or Air insert options on the surface of the base to provide a high level of pressure protection whilst providing support, stability and comfort.
Fusion features a multi-layer pre-contoured closed cell foam base with a soft foam overlay. This base provides a comfortable yet high level of positioning for users. Soft upper base foam and well fits user comfortably and effectively throughout entire cushion surface.
Fluid Jay Flow bladder or Air Insert is located on top of the foam base. This allows for good pelvic emersion into the cushion – minimising the risk of skin breakdown.
Inner cover with Aquaguard™ moisture resistant zipper assists with incontinence and moisture management.
The outer cover provides good air flow whilst the X-static silver threads help to minimise bacteria buildup (and thus minimise odour). This cover also helps to reduce shear.
Discomfort Level
This cushion is ideal for users who are uncomfortable, need postural support and are at a high level of pressure risk. The pre-contoured base encourages a neutral pelvic position and can minimise the user sliding forward into a slouched position. The fluid pad allows for direct emersion into the cushion – dispersing weight across the users’ bottom and thighs. The user will still need to perform weight shifts, but could be dependent on others.

- May be at high risk of skin breakdown

Some cushions use fluid packs that are similar to gel. What are these made from?
The JAY fluid packs are made of a vegetable oil-based fluid and are not considered ‘gel’. They form well around a client’s posture and are excellent at promoting skin protection.
The fluid in the JAY cushion has become stiff/hard. Is this normal?
The fluid pads in JAY cushions may become stiff after 4-5 years of consistent use and will require a direct replacement.
