My name is Heriberto Alves Roca, 44 years old, Brazilian. I became paraplegic at the age of 17 after a car accident that caused a spinal cord injury at the T6 level.
I am very independent with a wheelchair and have a very active life. I have been using the Vicair wheelchair cushion for 1 year and I feel very safe and comfortable with it. I am married, a Paralympic archery athlete and I also work as a computer technician.
I easily make adjustments to the cushion for the sporting activity I perform and for day-to-day life.
With the 27 years I have been in a wheelchair, I have used many other brands and models of air cushions to prevent pressure injuries and the cushions were good, but the maintenance costs were high.
I know the importance of sitting well to prevent injuries, and I am very satisfied with the technology, resistance, practicality, zero maintenance, safety and comfort of the Vicair cushion. I recommend!
