The M2 is constructed with dual density foam, a molded foam base, and Quadra3D Gel pack. The M2 comes in two styles: Zero Elevation style, which allows for greater freedom of movement for standard positioning issues, and the Wedge style controls forward leaning by adding slight anterior height.
Four compartment Quadra3D Gel is designed to prevent gel migration. Quadra 3D Gel regulates body temperature by retaining head and redistributes pressure to provide maximum comfort.
GlideWear is designed to promote healing and reduce the risk of pressure injury through the use of the Shear Reduction Zone. GlideWear provides reduction of shear forces to increase skin protection, 100% breathability for microclimate control, and improved comfort from reduced friction. The GlideWear technology option is available as an embedded upgrade to Stretch-Air & Comfort-Tek fabric options. Latex free.
