A wheelchair seat that hammocks needs a thin gel-foam pad that ties down. The Drive Gel-U-Seat Lite is Drive 8040, a 2 inch gel/foam cushion with a dual-chamber gel bladder and 12 inch tie straps. Sizes run 16 by 16 through 24 by 18 inches. It is not Nova's 2 inch gel-foam already on this store.
If you want a 2 inch Drive gel pad, not a 3 inch Gel-U-Seat and not Nova 2601-2, this is the Drive Gel-U-Seat Lite. Drive prints a dual-chamber gel bladder, a zippered stretch top, a vinyl bottom, and TB117. 8040-1 is 16 by 16 by 2 inches in the 275 lb class. 22 and 24 inch widths are 500 lb.
Drive prints a unique dual-chamber gel bladder so the pelvis stays on the gel. Height is 2 inches, not the 3 inch 8046 family.
Twelve-inch tie straps hold the cushion on the seat. The bottom is waterproof vinyl. The top is a fluid-resistant stretch cover you can unzip.
Drive's chart lists 16x16, 18x16, 20x16, 20x18, 18x18, 22x18, and 24x18. Feed titles swap some width/depth numbers. Use the Drive chart sizes on this picker.
16 through 20 inch sizes are 275 lb. 8040-7 (22x18) and 8040-9 (24x18) are 500 lb on Drive's cushion chart.
8040 is for someone who wants a 2 inch Drive gel-foam wheelchair cushion with tie straps, not Nova 2 inch gel-foam, not Titanium gel-foam, and not the 3 inch Gel-U-Seat 8046.
Live Nova 2601-2 is Nova's 2 inch gel-foam. This page is Drive 8040. Live Titanium FPT is a thicker visco/gel Drive cushion already on the store. Do not order 8040 as a Nova or Titanium replacement.
