The Sunrise Medical Jay Balance Pressure Cushion 'balances' the best of the Jay2 cushion with the best of the Jay3 cushion offering unparalleled skin protection and positioning support. The Jay Balance is a prescriptive and modular cushion which means each persons Jay Balance may be different to the last thanks to the large range of options available. These include positioning supports including pommels and thigh guides through to gel sacs containing your standard gel or the new Cryo Fluid technology. 

The Jay Balance cushion features two densities of foam base layered on top of each other. The base layer is a high density rigid foam providing a strong foundation to rigidise the cushion and prevent it from flexing when placed on imperfect surfaces. On top of this is a medium density foam offering excellent levels of immersion and 'softness' providing a comfortable seated surface. These foam layers are mildly contoured on the edges to provide gentle midline encouragement and also mildly pommelled to discourage adduction of the legs.

To the rear of the foam base is a large ischial well (also called a pelvic well) in which the rear fluid sacs or air inserts are positioned. The gel sacs provide a very high risk management surface for the protection of the ischial tuberosities from damage. Gel has the dual function of being great for envelopment and immersion, while also good at reducing the temperature of the skin that is in contact. High temperatures and resulting high levels of moisture are a key factor in the development of moisture lesions and skin breakdown. For users at high risk of skin breakdown or who want additional protection thanks to cooling should consider the Cryo-Fluid pack - a new type of gel able to manage temperatures for up to eight hours. 

For clients who are at very high risk of skin breakdown, and especially for those already being treated for pressure ulceration to the bottom may benefit from the Air inserts. These operate in a similar way to the ROHO system using air cells which provide a more immersive and 'softer' management of pressure risk. 

Wrapping around the entire cushion is an ultra-soft four way stretch platilon liner which prevents fluid ingress into the foam. Then for the top surface there is a choice of two outers - a breathable and antimicrobial microclimatic surface, or a wipeable and stretchy second incontinence barrier.
