2 Setup
2.1 Installing the fluid supplement sac (Fig. 2)
The fluid supplement sac utilizes Flo-tech™ technology and
non-temperature sensitive fluid. It can be easily placed in the pelvic
well and/or on the throchanteric shelf for targeted skin protection
around bony prominences.
1. Remove outer cover and inner liner.
2. Unfasten the hook and loop strips from the side and/or rear
of the main fluid sac H where you wish to install the fluid
supplement sac(s) A.
3. Thread the desired strap from the main fluid sac through the slot
on the fluid supplement sac, placing it between the main fluid sac
and foam base J.
Alternatively, locate the small pocket I on the bottom of the
4.
main fluid sac and install the fluid supplemental sac inside the
pocket. Adjust the fluid supplement sac to the desired position
inside the main fluid sac.
5. Refasten the fluid sac hook and loop strips and re-install the inner
liner and outer cover.
2.2 Installing the abductor (Fig. 3)

2.3 Installing the anterior, lateral and tapered
wedges (Fig. 4)
The Anterior wedge increases slope, prevents sliding, and reduces
shear. Can be trimmed to size as needed (see separate instructions).
Lateral wedges reinforce lateral stability for enhanced midline
positioning. Tapered wedges enhance adductor support when used in
the front and can address obliquity and pelvic rotation issues when
used in the rear.
1. Remove the outer cover and inner liner and position the wedge(s)
in the desired position on the underside of the foam base J as
shown:
• Lateral wedge C
• Anterior wedge E and cut to size anterior wedge (For
example, hip flexion limitations and/or lower seat height
needs for foot propulsion.)
• RF/LR tapered wedge F
• LF/RR tapered wedge G
2. Using the hook and loop strips, secure wedge(s) to the underside
of the foam base.
3. Re-install the inner liner and outer cover.
2.4 Trimming accessories and/or foam base
Components can be trimmed to provide tailored, individual solutions
for the end user. The anterior and lateral wedges require trimming to
fit the foam base. Use a cutter or scissors to trim these accessories.
CAUTION!
Risk of cutting!
– Take care when using a cutter or scissors.
1. Trim the base of the cushion to accommodate leg length
discrepancies, limited joint movement and/or contractures. Refer
to Fig. 5 as an example.
