## Products

- [EquaGel Straight Comfort Cushion](https://equagel.org/) — ASIN B087ZSTXY6. Paying gel money for a flat pad reads like a downgrade until four chairs get turned over before midnight with no wrong side to find.
- [Medline EquaGel Balance Cushion](https://equagel.org/) — ASIN B00NSG08E6. Heat ends most long sits, not pressure alone, and this cushion attacks both.
- [EquaGel Protector Cushion](https://equagel.org/) — ASIN B087ZW4QH5. Wound-care plans name a seating surface, and this is the model Medicare recognizes for it under codes E2603 and E2604.

## FAQ

- Is the EquaGel cushion considered a medical device, and does it need a prescription? — Pressure-redistribution seating sits in the durable medical equipment category, and the Protector is coded by Medicare as a skin-protection cushion under E2603 and E2604.
- What's the difference between gel and foam wheelchair cushions? — Foam redistributes by compressing, so a single-density block flattens under the sit bones and stays flattened as it ages.
- What is the difference between the EquaGel General and Protector cushions? — The Protector adds a contoured pelvic well that a flat model does not have, plus Medicare skin-protection coding under E2603 and E2604.
- Is the Medline EquaGel Balance cushion the same as the EquaGel-branded cushions? — The Balance ships under the Medline label as a distributed version rather than an identical twin.
- Is the Medline-branded version built on the same gel core as the EquaGel-branded ones? — Both run a dual-layer all-gel structure that redistributes load rather than compressing under it.
- How do I know if I need the Medicare-coded Protector versus the non-coded Straight Comfort? — Documented risk decides it.
- What causes pressure sores in wheelchair users? — Unrelieved load on the same tissue is the primary driver: sitting concentrates body weight onto the ischial tuberosities, and blood flow to that tissue drops.
- Is 2.86 kg (6.3 lbs) too heavy to lift in and out of a car trunk daily? — Most users manage it single-handed.
