Vicair Adjuster O2 – 10cm
Vicair Adjuster O2 – 10cm is an ideal wheelchair cushion for wheelchair users with body asymmetry.
- Adjuster O2 – 10cm creates greater immersion than the 6cm cushion.
- It automatically manages small obliquities and is individually adjustable to support those with more extreme asymmetry.
- The design allows total immersion to equally redistribute pressure and with a pre-ischial section prevents the user sliding forward.
- Wheelchair air cushion indicated for low-very high pressure injury risk prevention and treatment plan (stage I – IV)
When you’re looking for a high comfort level, optimal skin protection and stability: The Adjuster O2 pressure relief cushion is always a safe choice.
This product qualifies for Ministry of Health & ACC funding.

Smartcells are Tetrahedron shaped cells filled with air. In each Vicair wheelchair cushion you will find hundreds of SmartCells, resulting in optimal pressure redistribution and stability. Cells can be added and removed for customisation if required.
Low Maintenance
This wheelchair air cushion does not require daily monitoring of pressure or pump inflation.
100% Breathable
This pressure relief cushion is 100% Breathable for comfort, optimal micro-climate temperature, heat transfer and moisture regulation. This feature reduces the risk of skin tissue deformation, and pressure injury.
100% Machine Washable
For optimal hygiene caused by sweat or incontinence. This wheelchair cushion is 100% Machine washable at 60°C without removing the SmartCells.

“My wheelchair is not a limitation, it enriches my life!”
I’m the proud owner of a Vicair Adjuster O2 and it really makes a huge difference. When I exercise in my wheelchair I feel that my energy no longer stops by the seat. Instead of that, I can fully use all my energy and improve my times. The cushion adjusts to the shape of your body and that really makes a difference. No longer a numb bum, no more tingling feet or pain. It truly enriches my life and
I plan to achieve much more with it.

Small fibre neuropathy
Clinical Case: Pain relief through pressure redistribution on a Vicair Adjuster O2
Mr. R. He was diagnosed with small fibre neuropathy in 2014 which displays itself in nerve pain from the fingertips to the big toes. Mr. R. suffers from chronic pain and fatigue in addition to spasms that show in his fingers and legs.
After three weeks of Mr. R. testing his new Vicair Adjuster O2 (6cm) cushion in his manual wheelchair, Mr. R. experienced a significant improvement. He no longer had the sensation of sensitively painful sitting bones. Overall the pain that he experiences has been reduced, hence the Adjuster O2 was a welcome change.

Medical Conditions:
Right and left below-knee amputation
Clinical Case: Pressure redistribution and stability through immersion on an Adjuster 12
Mr. S’s current foam wheelchair cushion did not afford Mr. S. sufficient pressure redistribution as he indicated a sitting tolerance of approximately an hour. After which he would experience pain under both ischial tuberosities (Its) and in his sacral region.
After pressure mapping various cushions the Vicair Adjuster 12 came out on top.
The Adjuster 12 provides Mr. S. with high-pressure distribution properties that are needed to enable him to sit safely and comfortably all day. The pre-ischial bar prevents him from sliding forward, whilst deep immersion provides stability. He can now use his wheelchair without the risk of pressure and shear related injuries. Furthermore the cushion is low maintenance and easy to understand. The new configuration allows him to safely and independently access his home and community.

Congenital Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Clinical Case: Preventing sliding and creating stability with a Vicair Adjuster O2
In her initial set-up Mrs. C developed a category II pressure sore in the area of her IT’s. This was eventually remedied when she received a ROHO contour select cushion. Despite having contributed a great deal to the healing of the pressure sore, Mrs C. is not happy with her ROHO cushion. Her biggest objection is that she feels like she is constantly sliding out of her chair, she doesn’t feel comfortable going outside independently. Every ledge she has to go up or down she feels her position shift, unable to reposition herself this creates uncertainty and fear.
In order to assess her situation two measurements were conducted: an iShear measurement and a pressure mapping. The Adjuster O2 came out on top. After a trial of several weeks, the results are very positive: Mrs C. is delighted with her Adjuster O2. She no longer experiences the sensation of sliding forward and indicates a great amount of stability. Summing up her story she tells us that she has regained her confidence to move around outside. The increased stability has returned her self-confidence to move onto, off and over ledges without ever fearing the consequences.

Pressure Injury
Clinical Case: Reducing pressure ulcer incidents and saving money in staff maintenance time, by using Vicair cushions
In our facility 9% of the residents experienced pressure injury incidences. Additionally, staff spends time maintaining and checking products daily. Resulting in a significant amount of time being spent on maintenance on a weekly basis, taking time away that could be spent on patient care.
We introduced the Vicair products to a group of residents as the standard offering in an attempt to save money in staff maintenance time, reduce pressure ulcer incidence, and ultimately build our facilities reputation as a quality facility when it comes to patient care.
The percentage of residents with pressure injury incidences decreased from the initial 9% to 1%. In every case, the patient loved the comfort of the cushion and the therapist love the ability to individually customize the cushions to the patient.
The switch to Vicair cushions helped our bottom line.

Measuring Pressure interface and shear on cushions fitted correctly versus upside down
At a recent seating seminar therapist were asked if they had experienced a client sitting on their wheelchair cushion placed upside down? The answer was yes! 80% Had experienced this more than once. Asked if in their opinion would this place their client at further risk? The Majority answered “Yes”! If the cushion is placed incorrectly in the chair. How can we minimise risk for pressure & shear?
The following 3 cushion types had their data measured: Vicair Aircell cushions, Flotation cushion and a Gel cushion.
The tools used where a pressure-map and an iShear. iShear is the world’s first tool to measure total shear force in the seat of a wheelchair.
