Varilite Zoid PSV (Temporarily Unavailable)

The Varilite Zoid PSV is the low-profile cushion of choice for active wheelchair users at moderate risk of tissue breakdown. Ideal for individuals who need a low profile, tapered cushion without a medial thigh separator, the Zoid PSV is also valued by athletes for it's lightweight design and vibration impact dampening.

Varilite Air-Foam Floatation, coupled with multi-stiffness foam delivers superior pressure distribution. Functional areas of the Zoid PSV are created by three types of foam; soft foam for the decubitus-sensitive area of the ITS; medium foam for the thigh trough and pelvic bucketing; firm foam for the perimeter. 

The Zoid PSV takes the guesswork out of cushion adjustment. It releases air to immerse the user in the foam, which conforms to the user and distributes the user’s weight over the surface of the cushion. When the PSV senses that enough air has been released, it automatically shuts off the flow of air for optimal pressure distribution. 

Tapered design, low profile, stability, comfort, and simplicity have made the Zoid PSV the preferred performance cushion for active wheelchair users. Ultralightweight, it's tapered shape makes it ideal for rigid chairs, and it's cover is designed to protect the thighs of users with tight hamstrings or who tuck their legs under their chair. 

Bonding Zoid PSV foam to coated fabric makes the cushion hold air. A valve releases air to immerse the user in the foam, the foam conforms to the user, and the user’s weight is distributed over the surface of the cushion. Independent research has shown Varilite air-foam floatation to be the #1 impact and vibration dampening technology (RESNA 2000). Two types of fabric are bonded to Zoid PSV foam. Four-way-stretch knit is used on the top for maximum conformity during immersion, and nylon fabric is used on the bottom for added strength and durability. Both fabrics are puncture and water resistant. Stylish and functional. Four-way-stretch mesh fabric wraps around the front edge to eliminate seams. Reticulated foam inside promotes air exchange and improves pressure distribution. The underside is a rugged nonslip material with hook and loop for added security. Zoid PSV cover meets ISO 7176-16 ignition resistance standards for upholstered wheelchair components. Machine washable.

Extra-firm, beveled foam increases lateral stability and sitting balance, while a large ischial pan protects the pelvis in both anterior and posterior pelvic tilt positions. There’s no medial thigh separator, so lower extremities can drift naturally into midline for better fit in a tapered chair. 

The Zoid PSV is marked with three pre-set positions, which provide the best range of immersion for most users. The therapist determines the PSV position that results in optimal pressure distribution for a client. (A therapist can mark a different position on the PSV if the user falls outside the pre-determined range.)
