■ Background of Product Development
Wheelchair cushions are playing an increasingly important role in improving the QOL of users, such as through body pressure dispersion, posture maintenance, and meal support.
Furthermore, as wheelchairs evolve and cushions compatible with various types are required, we launched the standard wheelchair cushion 'Takano Cushion S' in January 2026 to meet current needs.
This time, by adding the highly requested wipeable type to our lineup, which addresses needs like 'preventing contamination from incontinence' and 'wiping/disinfection with chemicals,' we have made it possible for a wider range of users to choose our product.
■ Features of 'Takano Cushion S'
1. 'Layered Urethane Structure' combining urethanes of different hardness and density using proprietary know-how
2. 'Shine Spot' that effectively disperses pressure on the tailbone and sacrum
3. '4 types of shapes' that are simple and easy to choose by purpose
4. Covers can be selected from 'Breathable Type' and 'Wipeable Type' according to the usage scene

By placing urethanes of different hardness and density in the tailbone and thigh areas, we have achieved body pressure dispersion and posture stability.
2. New function 'Shine Spot' to reduce the burden on the tailbone and sacrum
A newly added function. The 13 dimple shapes effectively disperse pressure on the tailbone and sacrum. It supports a sitting posture with the pelvis tilted backward.
