Drive Gel-U-Seat Skin Protection 3 Inch Gel Foam Cushion

The Drive Gel-U-Seat 3 Inch Gel Foam Cushion is a skin-protection wheelchair cushion. Drive builds a high-density foam shell around a dual-chamber gel bladder and covers it with a water-resistant low-shear stretch cover and 12 in tie straps. Westin Healthcare delivers and sets it up across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.

This is the 3 inch Gel-U-Seat (8046). It is not the 2 inch Gel-U-Seat Lite, and it is not the contoured Titanium.

The Drive Gel-U-Seat 3 inch cushion is for a wheelchair user who needs a prefabricated 3 in gel foam seat. Drive rates it 275 lb on widths up to 20 in. Pick the size that matches the wheelchair seat. A seating therapist should confirm the size. This page does not give clinical positioning advice.
