Axiom SP  Skin Protection and Positioning Fluid Cushion

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: How does the Hydrolite fluid bladder enhance skin protection compared to standard foam? 
A: The Hydrolite bladder molds precisely to the body’s contours, distributing pressure evenly and reducing shear — two major factors in preventing pressure injuries. Unlike foam, it adapts dynamically to movement, ensuring protection remains consistent throughout the day. 

Q: Can the Axiom SP Fluid be used for extended wheelchair sitting without discomfort? 
A: Absolutely. It’s engineered for long-duration seating, with features like increased envelopment, a stable pre-contoured base, and a soft upper layer that work together to maintain comfort and support for hours on end. 

Q: What’s the main advantage of Hydrolite over viscoelastic foam used in other cushions? 
A: Hydrolite is lighter, less temperature-sensitive, and better at conforming to subtle body movements. This results in improved comfort, easier portability, and consistent performance regardless of climate or season. 

Q: How easy is it to clean and maintain the cushion? 
A: The water-resistant Lycra outer cover is removable, wipe-clean, and machine-washable, while the inner pleated cover protects the foam and bladder. The self-sealing zipper and loop pull make removing and reattaching the cover quick and simple. 

Q: Is the Axiom SP Fluid suitable for use outside of a wheelchair? 
A: Yes. While it’s designed with wheelchair users in mind, its stability, comfort, and protective features make it equally effective on home chairs, office seating, or other surfaces requiring enhanced support and skin protection.
