Drive Wedge Cushion With Stretch Cover

The Drive Wedge Cushion With Stretch Cover is an 18 by 16 inch high-density foam wheelchair wedge. Drive tapers it from 4 in at the back to 2 in at the front so the sitter is less likely to slide forward on a sling seat. Westin Healthcare delivers and sets it up across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.

This is Drive 8134. It is not a gel skin-protection cushion, and it is not the Span America Geo-Matt wedge.

Who this cushion is for

The Drive wedge cushion is for a wheelchair user who slides forward on a hammocking sling seat. Drive rates it 250 lb. Measure the seat. A seating therapist should confirm a wedge is the right shape. This page does not give clinical positioning advice.

How it is built

Drive's current 8134 card lists a firm foundation, high-density foam, a fluid-resistant low-shear stretch top, a waterproof vinyl bottom, and a 1 year limited warranty. Size 18 x 16 in. Height 4 in to 2 in.

Wedge or flat foam

Stay here if you want Drive's tapered wedge. The Drive Premier One General Use Foam Cushion is a flat 3 in general-use foam seat. Gel foam skin-protection seats such as the Gel-U-Seat 3 inch are a different job.

Funding help for a wheelchair cushion or back support in Ontario

This cushion or back support is an ADP positioning device category item. Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can fund 75% of the cost of positioning devices such as cushions and back supports when they are prescribed through an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist with an eligible mobility device, and some income-support programs cover the full cost. Not every product qualifies, so talk to us before you buy. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs can also help. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.
