NYOrtho Wheelchair Cushions & Positioning Supplies

Prolonged sitting is hard on the body — pressure builds at the ischial tuberosities, heels press against footrests, and skin over bony areas breaks down before anyone notices. NYOrtho (New York Orthopedic) builds practical positioning and comfort products that address exactly these problems, whether you're outfitting a single wheelchair at home or stocking a long-term care facility.

The heart of this collection is pressure redistribution. The NYOrtho Seat Cushion pairs a foam base with a gel bladder to spread weight away from pressure points — available with a standard cover (18 x 16 x 2 in) or a fluid-proof cover (18 x 16 x 3 in, rated to 295 lbs) that wipes clean and resists incontinence-related contamination. Both use a hook-and-loop strap so the cushion stays put on the seat instead of sliding forward. For deeper seating comfort, the Geri-Chair Comfort Seat supports residents who spend long stretches in geriatric recliners.

Leg, foot, and lap positioning

Small gaps in support cause big problems. NYOrtho's footrest extenders and leg rest pads (offered in 1-inch and 2-inch depths, and in wheelchair-specific and 22-inch sizes) cushion the calves and raise the leg rest to fit taller users, easing pressure behind the knees. The Lap Cushion (9526) gives arms and hands a stable resting surface and can help with upright positioning, while the Half-Rail Bed Pad pads the side rail to protect against bumps and bruising during transfers or repositioning in bed.

Choosing between a standard and fluid-proof cover usually comes down to incontinence risk and cleaning routine — facilities generally prefer the fluid-proof, wipeable version. If you're building out a broader seating and mobility setup, browse our full range of Wheelchair Cushions and Pressure Ulcer Dressings to round out a complete skin-protection plan.
