The Drive Gel "E" Skin Protection 3" Cushion is a medical-grade wheelchair cushion specifically designed for the prevention, treatment, and management of pressure injuries. Its 3-inch profile provides deeper immersion than the standard 2" Gel "E" model, offering enhanced pressure redistribution for users at higher risk of skin breakdown.
Key Features
Viscous gel in polyurethane foam shell — Gel flows continuously with body movement, redistributing pressure away from bony prominences throughout the day
Skin protection rated — Engineered specifically for pressure injury prevention and management, not just general comfort
3" height — Deeper than general-use gel cushions for greater immersion and improved offloading at high-risk areas
Fluid-resistant, low-shear cover — Zippered stretch cover is easy to remove and wash; protects both cushion and skin
Non-slip base — Keeps the cushion properly positioned on the wheelchair seat
Multiple sizes available — Fits a range of standard and wider wheelchair seats
Who Is This For?
Recommended for wheelchair users at moderate to high risk of pressure injuries who need a skin protection-rated cushion and benefit from deeper gel immersion. A practical option when a healthcare provider has recommended a step up from general-use gel cushions but a full air cell system isn't required.
Available Sizes
16" × 16", 18" × 16", 18" × 18", 20" × 16", 22" × 18" — all at 3" height.
