New York Orthopedic (NYOrtho) Products

New York Orthopedic — better known by its NYOrtho brand — builds practical comfort and positioning products for wheelchair users, long-term care residents, and the caregivers who look after them. The line focuses on the everyday problems that determine quality of life in a chair or bed: pressure buildup during long hours seated, dignity and discretion around urinary drainage, and safe, comfortable positioning for residents who spend much of the day in a geri-chair.

Seat cushions are the heart of the collection. The NYOrtho Foam/Gel Seat Cushions combine a supportive foam base with a gel layer that redistributes pressure across the sitting surface — a meaningful difference for anyone at risk of pressure injuries. The 18 x 16 x 3 inch version carries a fluid-proof cover and a 295 lb. weight capacity, while the 2-inch model offers a lower-profile fit; both use hook-and-loop straps to stay put on a wheelchair seat and are reusable and washable. For fuller support, the Geri-Chair Comfort Seat cushions the seat of recliner-style chairs common in skilled nursing.

Discretion matters just as much as comfort. The NYOrtho Wheelchair Urinary Drain Bag Holders and the vinyl Drain Bag Holder conceal a catheter bag along the chair frame, keeping it secure, out of sight, and off the floor. The Smoker's Apron and Half-Rail Bed Pad round out the range with simple safety and protection items caregivers reach for daily.

Choosing the right cushion usually comes down to seat width, needed height, and whether a fluid-proof cover suits the user's continence needs — measure the chair seat and match the dimensions rather than guessing.
