Wheelchair Cushion

Hidden image

Wheelchair cushions are critical for patients so that they do not develop pressure wounds which can be dangerous. Many wheelchair users can use simple cushions. However, some wheelchair users are high-risk and need to have cushions that are adaptable. Several commercial cushions for high-risk patients are available but they are either expensive or can be messy if they break. A team composed of engineering and nursing students are working to develop prototypes that will be tested in Ecuador.
