Addressing the "Unwashable Cushion" Problem in Caregiving: "MediGel" Honeycomb Gel Cushion Achieves "Washable Body" for 3,980 Yen. Up to 30% Off Sale on Amazon Prime Day Starting July 7th.

Adways Technology Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Contact: Planning Department, Mineo) announces that the product specifications for the "MediGel" honeycomb gel cushion for wheelchairs have been updated in July 2026, and it is now available for sale on Amazon. Additionally, during the Amazon Prime Day period (including the early sale) from July 7th (Tue) to July 13th (Mon), it will be offered at a 30% discount from the regular price of 3,980 yen (tax included) to 2,786 yen (tax included).

"MediGel" focuses on three common concerns for individuals who spend long hours in wheelchairs and their caregivers: "burden on the buttocks," "seat stuffiness," and "cushions that cannot be washed or dried." While wheelchair gel cushions with pressure distribution and breathability typically range from 10,000 to tens of thousands of yen1, "MediGel" achieves a price of 3,980 yen (tax included) while incorporating essential features for daily use such as a honeycomb gel structure, full washability, and anti-slip processing.

"Good cushions are expensive and difficult to wash," say voices from the caregiving field.

With the spread of home care, wheelchair cushions are now evaluated not only for "user comfort" but also for "ease of handling by the caregiver family."

Wheelchair gel cushions with excellent pressure distribution are primarily priced from the 10,000 yen range to tens of thousands of yen for specialized manufacturer products1. On the other hand, urethane cushions in the popular price range tend to absorb moisture, making them difficult to wash thoroughly and slow to dry when wet or soiled from sweat or incontinence.

Because it's something used every day, we shouldn't compromise on "affordable replacement price," "ease of washing," and "ease of handling." "MediGel" supports pressure distribution with its honeycomb structure and maintains essential functions for daily use. By selecting relatively inexpensive materials from those that are safe, we have achieved a price of 3,980 yen (tax included), which is less than half the market price1 of honeycomb gel cushions for wheelchairs.

Four Features of "MediGel"

1. Honeycomb Gel Structure disperses pressure from prolonged sitting

The honeycomb structure gel material disperses pressure on the seat, alleviating concentrated pressure on one point of the buttocks. Compared to urethane, gel material deforms more easily in response to body movement and seat pressure, making it suitable for long sitting periods2.

2. Fully washable. Clean on the same day even on sweaty or dirty days

Being a gel material, it can be washed entirely with water. Unlike urethane, it does not absorb water easily and dries quickly after washing, allowing it to be returned to a clean state on the same day, even during sweaty seasons or when dirt is a concern. This also reduces the burden on caregivers.

3. Honeycomb Structure x Mesh Cover addresses stuffiness during rainy and summer seasons

The combination of the honeycomb structure's cavities and highly breathable mesh material is designed to easily release heat and moisture that accumulate on the seat. It is suitable for prolonged use during the upcoming season with rising humidity and temperatures.

4. Anti-slip processing on the back reduces slippage on wheelchair seats

Anti-slip processing on the back reduces slippage on wheelchairs. In addition to wheelchairs, it can be used on regular chairs, desk chairs, and car seats, accommodating everything from travel to medical appointments by car to desk work at home with a single cushion.

Sale to coincide with Amazon Prime Day

A sale for "MediGel" will be held in conjunction with Amazon Prime Day.

We will offer a washable honeycomb gel cushion at a more accessible price for those who spend long hours in wheelchairs, spend long periods sitting for desk work or car travel, or are looking for caregiving supplies for family members.
