My name is Thomas Peter Jacobsen, and I reside in Holbæk, Denmark. As a double below-knee amputee due to Type 2 diabetes complications, I rely on a wheelchair for my daily mobility needs.
"Transitioning to the Vicair Active O2 wheelchair cushion has been truly life-changing for me"
I first became aware of Vicair through the assistive devices department of my local municipality and through recommendations from fellow wheelchair users. Transitioning to the Vicair Active O2 wheelchair cushion has been truly life-changing for me. Previously, I struggled with severe phantom pains using my old cushion. Since switching to the Vicair Active O2, I have experienced a remarkable improvement in blood circulation in my legs, which has significantly alleviated these phantom pains. Moreover, the cushion has greatly enhanced my seating comfort, particularly providing excellent support to my lower back.
My wheelchair consultant from Invacare specifically recommended this cushion for its exceptional front support, crucial for stabilizing myself when I rise up in the chair (kneel in the chair position). The cushion’s advanced airflow design has also been instrumental in reducing heat build-up, ensuring greater comfort during prolonged periods of sitting
"This cushion has become an indispensable part of my daily routine"
I am truly grateful to have discovered the Vicair Active O2 cushion. It has not only met but surpassed my expectations in terms of comfort, support, and relief from phantom pains. This cushion has significantly improved my quality of life and has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality wheelchair cushion that makes a real difference.
