Elasto-Gel - A unique gel product providing a cool seating surface that
reduces pressure, shear forces and heat build up. Maintains cool temperature and has vapor
transmission properties. Use under the pelvis area for greater support and relief of the
ischial tuberosities and the coccyx.

EVA Foam (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) - A dense closed cell foam. Used to build
up contours, anti-thrust, and abductors/ adductors.
|
|
EVAzote - Resiliant, low density, closed cell foam.Polyurethane Foam
("Poly") - Standard foam. 4 lb and 5 lb (load resistance).
|
|
Pudgee Foam -
Exceptionally good pressure relieving foam. Comfortable and dough-like, it molds to body to
provide maximum conformity with minimum tension. Redistributes pressure; pliable like gel.
Great for pressure relief of ishial tuberosities but may bottom out by itself - 1" medium
SunMate foam recommended underneath for added support.
|
|
SunMate Foam -
A memory foam with slow spring-back moves to match the contour of the body and reduces
sitting fatigue through uniform pressure distribution. The open-cell structure maximizes
airflow to reduce heat buildup. Medium-weight preferred on seats; soft-weight preferred
on backs.
