<p>A seating system (2) for wheelchairs and other applications. The seating system (2) includes a base member (6) with an upper surface (8) and a fluid pad (7) positioned on the upper surface (8). The upper surface (8) is preferably contoured and dimensioned to have areas (12, 14, 16) corresponding to the user's ischial tuberosities (12', 14') and coccyx (16') as well as the user's femurs (18', 22') including trochanters (20', 24'). The fluid pad (7) in the preferred embodiment is one piece and has at least three separate and distinct pouches (1, 3, 5) filled with fluid. Each pouch includes seals (9) to contain the fluid in each pouch and to isolate and prevent fluid communication with the fluid in the other two pouches. Each pouch of the pad is then respectively positioned on the upper surface (8) of the base member (6) under the user's ischial tuberosities (12', 14') and coccyx (16'). In this manner, each of the user's ischial tuberosities (12', 14') and coccyx (16') is thereby supported on its own separate and distinct fluid pouch.</p> |
