More About This Product

AliHip™ Cushion Comfortable but firm 4" foam cushion with a 15º - 20º sloped cutout at the front of the sitting surface on the operative side.

How does it work? The base cushion has the 15º - 20º sloped cutout at the front 2/3 of the cushion surface. The detachable wedge attaches securely on the non-operative side of the cushion, but can be removed and repositioned on the opposite side depending on the individual patient needs.  This creates a flat sitting surface for the non-operative leg, and allows the distal end of the operative leg to rest slightly lower than the hip. And the smooth but secure hook-and-loop attachments ensure proper positioning without irritating skin.

Cushion is firm yet conforming foam with choice of skin-friendly, water-resistant, black AliTex knit cover or durable upholstered black vinyl. Both covers are removable and machine-washable, and feature waterfall zippers and rear safety ties.

18"W x 16"D x 4"H; slope side is 1"H in front

Hip Cushions

Traditional Hip Cushions
are usually very firm and thick—adding up to 6" of additional height. They maintain the hip at the required 90° angle but may also restrict the user’s functional reach.

AliHip™ Cushions are gently sloped on the operative side so the hip can extend an additional 15° to 20°, allowing the user to safely lean forward the same 15° to 20° at the trunk in facilitation of sit-to-stand, self-toileting, basic ADLs, even eating! AliHip Cushions also improve positioning of hips to help with pain control and to maximize sitting tolerance post-operatively. Plus, with the knee naturally lower than the hips at this angle, individuals don’t need to sit on a 6"-high hip cushion or a pile of bed pillows!

Comfortably maintains hip precautions AliHip Cushions maintain hips at more than 90° extension, while allowing user more freedom of movement in the wheelchair or armchair. More comfortable than traditional hip cushions, they are adjustable for left or right leg.
