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.
