Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, United States – Sunrise Medical, a global leader in assistive mobility solutions, is proud to announce the launch of the JAY LitePro, one of the lightest and lowest-profile adjustable skin protection cushions on the market. Designed specifically for highly active self-propellers, the JAY LitePro delivers adjustable pressure management, enhanced breathability, and exceptional stability – all in an ultra-lightweight design engineered for movement.
Weighing less than 2 lbs. (0.9 kg), the JAY LitePro supports efficient propulsion and maximum mobility without adding unnecessary weight to the wheelchair setup. Its ultra-low profile – measuring under 2" (51 mm) – promotes easier transfers, improved agility, and greater independence in everyday mobility.
"At Sunrise Medical, we understand that for active riders, every gram and every millimeter matter," said Bernd Krebs, Chief Technology Officer at Sunrise Medical. "The JAY LitePro was engineered to remove compromise and deliver high-level skin protection and stability in one of the lightest, lowest cushions available today."
Innovation at the Core
At the heart of the JAY LitePro is a patent-pending multi-zone elastomer insert designed to immerse and redistribute pressure away from high-risk bony prominences. This innovative material technology promotes healthier skin while maintaining ride responsiveness.
Engineered to delivery more than twice the stability of traditional air cushions, the JAY LitePro pairs a contoured multi-layer foam base with its elastomer insert whose zones not only deliver pressure relief, but also targeted, built-in stability. The insert remains securely positioned through every push, reach, and transfer, ensuring consistent postural support and confidence in motion.
The cushion also features interchangeable Pressure Adjustment Pods on the underside, allowing fine-tuned pressure management according to individual needs.
Advanced Breathability for Skin Protection
The JAY LitePro incorporates a 360° airflow system that helps keep riders cooler and drier – up to 45% drier compared to traditional air cushions. Vertical and horizontal air channels in the base, combined with the high-airflow elastomer insert and AirExchange cover, ensure continuous ventilation during movement.
Designed for Real Life
Built to withstand daily demands, the JAY LitePro is durable and easy to maintain. The elastomer insert and cover are fully machine washable, while the closed-cell foam base can be quickly rinsed, supporting long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.
With its combination of ultra-lightweight construction, ultra-low profile, advanced airflow, and enhanced stability, the JAY LitePro sets a new performance standard for active wheelchair users.
