Carex launches PostureCare wheelchair cushion

NORWELL, Mass. — Carex Health Brands last week introduced the new Carex PostureCare wheelchair cushion.

Carex’s new wheelchair cushion contours for a custom fit, with side pockets that automatically inflate to the appropriate level of support for seating comfort and positioning. Featuring a machine-washable cover, the wheelchair cushion fits a wheelchair width of 16 inches to 21 inches. The new Carex PostureCare wheelchair cushion will be available in August online and at select retailers, independent pharmacies and drug stores for a suggested retail price of $69.99.

An estimated 1% of the world's population requires the use of a wheelchair, Carex reported, citing the World Health Organization.
