Jay Protector

This is "must have" equipment for an active paraplegic.

After about a year or two, the gel-pack eventually breaks and leaks. If it's not under warranty, I discard the gel-pack, replace it with a certain density of foam, and I'm good to go.

I'm a T-12 paraplegic and use the Jay Protector while kayaking, scuba diving, working on my car, and anything else where I'm not in my wheelchair.

It will protect your backside!

A little difficult to put on

My son loves this cushion. He said its great when he has to climb stairs..

Ease of putting it on, how it stays in place during your movements, even holds up and on when using it on or near the water were it could and most often does, gets wet.

The gel portion of the cushion is poorly sealed and most often ends up leaking after a few years of use, if you are active it would be smart to have a backup just in case it starts leaking because trying to seal it back up is near impossible.

T2 complete for over 40 years, very active and sometimes need extra cushion. Find this product very useful.

Because it's compact and waterproof, the Jay Protector is an ideal cushion for use in the shower. Good for protecting your posterior from potential pressure sores while sitting in a hard tub or shower stall.

Because it's so compact, it doesn't provide the same coverage as a full-sized seat cushion, so it shouldn't be used as your primary wheelchair cushion.

Does the job. Relieves pressure, promotes good posture.

Comes in two pieces which are sometimes hard for me to manage. May be easier if it came as one.

Incomplete spinal cord injury. At risk for pressure sores.

Well made. Flexible use.

Lack of sizes.

It is very well made and not too hard to use.

I bought it to use in conjunction with a slide board at the gym. It did not transfer well and got in my way every time.
