Axiom AS Cushion

2022 Mobility Product Award Winner: Skin Protection, Adjustable

With the new Axiom AS, getting the optimum fit the first time is as easy as sitting, thanks to a patented, self-adjusting fluid system that uses a rider’s body weight and physical characteristics to control immersion and envelopment. Femurs, trochanters, and ischia are all independently loaded, creating optimal pressure distribution and maximum stability. Once the desired fitting is achieved, the adjustment can be locked in. The fitting can be readjusted if needed, but refitting solely for maintenance is unnecessary.

Swing-Away Anti-Tipper

2022 Mobility Product Award Winner: Accessories, Wheelchair

This retractable and adjustable Swing-Away Anti-Tipper with integrated tip assist is the solution for freer and safer movement without compromises and undesired tipping. It helps wheelchair users to stay secure and stable when facing obstructions, while helping caregivers to transition over curbs and raised doorways.

Ki Mobility

Axiom ASP Cushion

2022 Mobility Product Award Winner: Cushions, Skin Protection, Adjustable Cushions, Skin Protection & Positioning, Adjustable

The ASP has all the benefits of the Axiom AS cushion, but with added height and contours for even more stability and better positioning for the rider. The ASP’s patented, self-adjusting fluid system uses a rider’s body weight and physical characteristics to control immersion and envelopment. The cushion allows femurs, trochanters, and ischia to be independently loaded, creating optimal pressure distribution and maximum stability. Once the desired fitting is achieved, the adjustment can be locked in. The fitting can be readjusted if needs change, but refitting solely for maintenance is unnecessary. The lightweight Hydrolite fluid is less sensitive to temperature to maintain performance consistency regardless of climate. Surface tension is significantly reduced by Ki’s super four-way-stretch Lycra outer cover for better immersion. The design features a dense layer of reticulated foam under a layer of spacer fabric for superior airflow and moisture control. The result is an easily adjustable cushion with an ideal fit and a cooler, drier skin interface for the rider.

Through the MyLuci app, riders can view the data they need to manage their skin, create offloading targets, set reminders, and track their progress. Today, this patent-pending technology is the first of its kind to offer accurate, effortless cushion pressure monitoring for power wheelchair users.
