inflation and adjustment guide
The ENHANCER Cushion has two separate compartments of air cells. The inner compartment has air cells of different heights, creating a posterior contour for the pelvis and troughs for the upper legs. The outer compartment has
air cells for providing lateral/medial postural support. Each compartment has its own inflation valve (inner valve and outer valve) for adjusting the amount of pelvic/thigh contour or the degree of postural support.
ENHANCER Cushion setup
Inflate and adjust the ENHANCER Cushion for
a new individual.
1. Place the ENHANCER Cushion in the
wheelchair with the air cells facing up and the
valves at the left front of the cushion.
2. Slide the rubber nozzle of the hand pump
over one of the inflation valves. Pinch the
nozzle, turn to open the inflation valve, and
overinflate the air cells.
3. When all of the air cells are overinflated and
the cushion compartment begins to arch
slightly, pinch the rubber nozzle of the hand
pump and turn to close the inflation valve
completely.
4. Remove the hand pump.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the other compartment.

ENHANCER Cushion adjustment
Check the inflation level daily by performing
a hand check.
After overinflating the ENHANCER Cushion, adjust
to the proper cushion inflation setting:
1. The individual should sit in their usual
position in the chair. The cushion should be
centered beneath the individual.
2. The outer cells/abductor: Open the inner
valve and release air to adjust for comfort
and positioning. Close the valve.
3. Posterior contour section: Slide your hand
between the ENHANCER and the individual
and feel for the lowest bony prominence.
Open the outer valve and release air until
you can slightly move your fingertips. Close
the valve.

Note: Re-adjust the inflation level of the two compartments as
needed to gain the desired support and positioning for the
lateral and medial contours, while achieving sufficient immersion,
envelopment and protection from the posterior contour.
