Description
The Span Geo-Matt PRT, part 50746-083, is a 3 in high-density foam wheelchair cushion, 18 in wide by 16 in deep, with a vinyl and nylon cover.
What does it do and how does it work?
- The 3 in height gives a lower, firmer base for transfers and for propelling the chair.
- The Geo-Matt cut top has individually responsive cells that redistribute pressure.
- Ring-of-Air channels help manage heat and moisture.
- The vinyl and nylon cover protects the foam from incontinence.
- It is a seat cushion, not a bed overlay or a mattress.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- An active wheelchair user who needs a lower, firmer cushion for transfers and propulsion.
- Span lists the PRT for comfort and prevention of breakdown.
- A seating assessment decides whether foam and this shape suit the person's skin and posture.
- For a higher profile or a 500 lb rating, choose the 4 in bariatric sizes.
Will it fit?
- The cushion is 18 in wide, 16 in deep and 3 in high (46 x 41 x 8 cm).
- Match the width and depth to the seat so the cushion sits inside the chair's side rails.
- The 3 in PRT is rated to 250 lbs (113 kg).
- A 4 in PRT is a different height and a separate part.
- A cushion that has touched skin cannot be returned; see our return policy.
Using it day to day
- Check the cover and foam for tears at each use; a split lets fluid reach the foam.
- Follow the seating plan for pressure relief and repositioning.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It is foam only: no air cells, pump or power.
- The 250 lb rating is for the 3 in PRT; the 4 in bariatric sizes are rated 500 lbs.
- The warranty is 18 months on the PRT line; see the Warranty tab.
Which version should I choose?
- 50746-083 is the 18 by 16 in with a vinyl and nylon cover.
- 50746-070 is the same size with a Soft Skin sleeve.
- The anti-slip cover sizes use PRT item numbers.
How does it compare?
The wheelchair cushions range has gel and air options. Bed pressure care is in medical mattresses.
