Usage/Application

Ideal for post-hip-surgery recovery, rehabilitation, seniors, and individuals with limited hip mobility, arthritis, weakness, or difficulty standing from low chairs. Suitable for use on compatible firm chairs, wheelchairs, and other stable seating surfaces. Place the cushion on a firm, stable seating surface according to the manufacturer's instructions, and confirm both the cushion and the chair are stable before sitting, avoiding soft or unstable surfaces where the cushion could shift. The firm elevated design raises the seat height to reduce hip bending, which can help support hip precautions, but it does not replace the specific precautions and transfer techniques prescribed by the surgeon or physiotherapist, so follow that guidance during recovery. Use the cushion under the direction of the care team where hip precautions apply, clean the cover according to the manufacturer's guidance, and inspect the cushion periodically for wear or loss of firmness.
