THE JAY PROTECTOR™

The Jay Protector cushion is designed for up to four
hours of skin protection when sitting away from your
wheelchair. (For all-day sitting with skin protection, we
recommend the Jay®J2, Jay Active™, Jay® Balance or
Jay® Xtreme cushions for wheelchairs.)
When using your Protector, follow these
simple guidelines:

DISTINGUISH "FRONT" FROM "REAR" OF CUSHION

The "rear" (A) of your Protector cushion is higher than
the front. This should help you sit straighter, with better
Protector. Plus, the lower front (B) won't dig into your
legs, or interfere with seating heights. When putting the
cushion into its cover, always place the lower front in
first, so the taller "rear" is toward the zippered end (c).

CENTER YOURSELF CAREFULLY ON THE CUSHION

When sitting on the cushion, take a few seconds to
ensure that you are sitting well-centered with your
ischials (seat bones) centered over the Jay FlowTM fluid
portion (D) of the cushion. The cushion sides should
extend evenly on each side of your buttocks, and the
cushion rear should be flush with the back of your
buttocks.

HOW TO USE THE SLING ATTACHMENT

Match the Velcro strips on the cushion with the Velcro
®
strips on the sling and position in place with the taller end
of the cushion to the rear. Transfer onto the cushion and
make sure you are well-centered. Attach the waistband
(E) first and secure tightly, as this is the most important
attachment. now secure each leg strap (F), but not so
tightly that it cuts off blood flow or urine drainage if you
use a leg bag. (Preferably, the sling should be worn over
pants or shorts to prevent strap abrasion against the
legs.) now, try moving around on the floor and check that
the cushion does not slide out of place.
(If Protector slides out of place, check for proper
adjustment of waistband.)

GAUGE YOUR SKIN TOLERANCE

You may be able to use the Protector for up to four hours
of skin protection. However, extra-sensitive skin or extra-
rough use could decrease your skin tolerances. It's
always best to check your skin periodically to gauge your
particular tolerances.

EASY CLEANING

The cushion itself can be scrubbed clean with soap and
water and also spray disinfected. Both the cushion cover
and the sling attachment can be machine washed (no
bleach) and dried at average temperature settings.
Before washing, attach the cushion cover to the sling
to prevent the sling's Velcro strips (G) from abrading
attachment straps and other articles in your wash.
