Description
1. General Description
The Tynor Coccyx Cushion Seat is an ergonomic orthopedic cushion specifically designed to alleviate pressure and pain in the tailbone (coccyx) and lumbosacral region during prolonged sitting. It features a unique, contoured design that redistributes the user’s body weight away from the sensitive tailbone area, thereby helping to relieve pain associated with coccydynia, fractured coccyx, sciatica, hemorrhoids, and post-surgical discomfort in the pelvic area.
2. Manufacturing Details
Tynor manufactures this cushion using high-quality materials to ensure durability and therapeutic effectiveness. The construction involves a specialized core, typically high-density polyurethane (PU) foam or visco-elastic (memory) foam, which retains its shape and provides stable support. The key feature is the precisely engineered cut-out at the rear of the cushion, which is designed to suspend the coccyx, eliminating direct contact pressure when seated.
3. Material Details
- Core Material: Made from supportive, resilient high-density PU foam or memory foam that conforms to the user’s anatomy while providing stable elevation.
- Covering: Encased in a breathable, soft, and durable fabric cover, often made of Velvet, Mesh, or Polyester. The cover is usually removable and washable.
- Base: May feature a non-slip base to prevent the cushion from shifting on chairs, car seats, or wheelchairs.
4. Usability
The Coccyx Cushion is designed to be highly versatile, usable on almost any sitting surface, including office chairs, dining chairs, car seats, airplanes, and wheelchairs. It must be positioned correctly: the U-shaped or V-shaped cut-out should face the back of the chair, aligning directly under the coccyx/tailbone. Proper use encourages a slight anterior tilt of the pelvis, promoting correct lumbar posture.
5. Precautions
- Correct Orientation: Always ensure the cushion is oriented correctly with the cut-out aligned to free the tailbone; incorrect use can negate the pressure-relieving effect.
- Cleaning: Follow the instructions for the removable cover; the foam core should typically not be washed or immersed in water.
- Medical Guidance: For severe or persistent coccyx pain, the cushion should be used as an adjunct to treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional.
- Storage: Avoid placing heavy items on the cushion when not in use, as this can compress the foam and reduce its therapeutic effectiveness over time.
6. Key Features and Benefits
- Coccyx Pressure Relief: The anatomically designed cut-out completely suspends the tailbone, effectively isolating it from the sitting surface to alleviate pain.
- Posture Correction: The wedge shape and supportive foam help to restore the natural “S” curve of the spine, improving posture and reducing lower back strain.
- Even Weight Distribution: The high-density foam spreads the user’s weight over the sitting area, reducing pressure points on the hips and thighs.
- Portability: Lightweight and compact design makes it easy to transport and use in various settings (home, office, travel).
- Hygienic: Features a removable, washable cover for easy maintenance.
7. Additional Details
- Sizing: Usually comes in a standard or “universal” adult size, with dimensions optimized to fit most chairs and provide ample sitting area.
- Intended Use: Essential for individuals with chronic tailbone pain (coccydynia), users recovering from childbirth, or anyone spending long hours seated who requires enhanced spinal support.
- Longevity: Tynor foam is manufactured for resilience and longevity, resisting significant compression over time.
