PivotFit

Distributing pressure across a greater surface area than a traditional H-style harness, the PivotFit Shoulder Harness has a body-contouring shape for optimal support and comfortable fit. Curved laminar pads follow the contours of the shoulders and ribcage, with a low-placed sternum strap to reduce the risk of strangulation while providing easy adjustability. The new swivel buckle is twice as strong as competitive models and allows for precise pad placement for an individualized fit. New MD (multi-directional) Pull Straps can be configured as either a frontpull or rear-pull at the time of the fitting to better accommodate individual user needs.

LUCI + Air

LUCI + Air is a smart air cushion pressure monitor that informs riders if their seat cushion is properly inflated, as well as how much time they spend sitting, and how often they are off-loading from their cushion. 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. The system includes hardware auditory and visual alerts with user-controlled secure sharing options.

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.

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.
