Takano Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Miyata Village, Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture; President: Masao Takano; hereinafter referred to as Takano) will launch the wiping type of the urethane layered structure wheelchair cushion "Takano Cushion S" on Friday, April 3, 2026.

This product is a waterproof cover specification of "Takano Cushion S," released on January 13, 2026. In addition to the existing breathable cover, a waterproof cover is now available that prevents contamination from incontinence or spills, and is compatible with wiping and disinfection using agents such as ethanol and sodium hypochlorite for disinfection.

Background of Product Development Wheelchair cushions are playing an increasingly important role in improving users' QOL, such as pressure distribution, posture support, and meal support. Furthermore, as wheelchairs evolve, cushions that can accommodate various types are in demand. In response, we released the standard wheelchair cushion "Takano Cushion S" in January 2026 to meet current needs.

By adding the frequently requested wiping type to our lineup, which addresses "prevention of contamination due to incontinence" and "wiping and disinfection with chemicals," we can now be chosen by a wider range of users.

Features of "Takano Cushion S" 1. "Urethane Layered Structure" combining urethane of different hardness and density with proprietary know-how 2. "Shine Spot" for effective pressure dispersion on the coccyx and sacrum 3. "4 types of shapes" that are simple and easy to choose by application 4. "Breathable type" and "Wiping type" covers that can be selected according to the usage scene

1. "Urethane Layered Structure" Incorporating Takano's Unique Know-how By arranging urethane of different hardness and density in areas such as the coccyx and thighs, we have achieved pressure dispersion and posture stability.

2. New Function "Shine Spot" to Reduce Burden on Coccyx and Sacrum A newly added function. The 13 concave shapes effectively disperse pressure on the coccyx and sacrum. It supports a sitting posture where the pelvis is tilted backward.

3. "4 types of shapes" that are simple and easy to choose by application We have prepared a lineup that allows users to easily choose the optimal cushion according to their physical condition, activity level, and wheelchair type. By reducing the number of types from 6 in the conventional product "Takano Cushion R" to 4, it has become even easier to choose.

【Type 1 / Wiping 1】High-Performance Pressure Dispersion & Posture Support Shape A type that excels in pressure dispersion and can accommodate a wide range of users, from slender to large individuals.

【Type 3 / Wiping 3】Prevents Forward Slippage A type that suppresses forward slippage by reducing pressure on the back of the thighs using an anchor shape.

【Type 4 / Wiping 4】Flat Shape A flat shape with a thickness of 6cm, recommended for those who seek both pressure dispersion and activity.

【Type 6 / Wiping 6】Thin Universal Shape & Posture Support Shape A type with a thickness and shape that can be used with any wheelchair model, recommended for those who do not want to change their wheelchair.

The "Wiping Type," newly added, is also available in 4 types of shapes. * "Breathable Type" is indicated as Type 1/3/4/6, and "Wiping Type" as Wiping 1/3/4/6.

4. "Breathable Type" and "Wiping Type" Covers Selectable According to Usage Scene The cover surface is resistant to discoloration from chemicals such as hypochlorite and ethanol, allowing for easy disinfection by wiping. Furthermore, it is designed to prevent moisture from entering through the zipper, protecting the urethane cushion from contamination due to incontinence, etc.
