Pads
Comfortable seat and backrest pads are crucial for offering cushioned support and preventing pressure sores. These pads consist of polyurethane foam and are encased in a cleanable, healthcare-grade, polyurethane-coated fabric. For extended durability, the seat pad is reversible, from front to back. The pads come in six different colors.
