Zing Portable

This new foldable stander boasts a small footprint and lightweight portability. Designed for children aged 0-3 years, the Zing Portable has a weight capacity of 36 lbs. The stander itself weighs just 20 lbs., and the carrying handle on the Zing Portable is designed to balance the weight for an easier lift. The multi-position stander offers supine-to-vertical and prone-to-vertical configurations, with independent leg abduction (up to 15°, or 30° bilaterally). Tool-free adjustment makes the Zing Portable easy to work with, and its tripod design enables the stander to comfortably fit into more environments.

Ride Forward

Ride Forward

Ideal for users who want comfort, greater sitting stability, improved skin outcomes, and incontinence/spill protection, the Ride Forward surrounds the pelvis with supportive contours while reducing pressure around at-risk bony prominences. This helps improve postural control and balance without compromising skin protection. A top viscoelastic layer provides protection and comfort as it conforms to the body shape. The cushion’s contour, spacer fabric outer cover, and inner incontinence-resistant cover work together to keep both the user and the cushion dry. Even under significant load, the spacer fabric outer cover does not compress.

JAY Fluid with Cryo Technology

JAY Fusion with Cryo Technology

CryoFluid Technology is designed to provide one of the highest degrees of skin protection by addressing the four primary risks for pressure injuries: pressure, shear, temperature and moisture. It is designed to actively cool the seated skin surface to a therapeutic temperature range and reduces perspiration with extended sitting times. The JAY Fluid with Cryo Technology actively cools for up to eight hours, “resets” during off-loading, and the capacity for cooling won’t diminish over time. This technology is available on JAY Fusion (pictured) and JAY Syncra cushions.
