The Sandbar is a versatile cushion that can provide support to a specific body part. Its unique wedge shape, combined with EverPod™ Technology, allows the malleable cushion to be contoured, supporting immersion of bony structures or offloading high-risk areas while maintaining the ideal angle to support joint health and promote circulation.
The stability of the Sandbar Cushion supports positioning to promote circulation or to block destructive postural tendencies. When used with the lower extremities, it can provide a weight-bearing surface for the calves— allowing the heels and ankles to remain free of contact with the sleep surface. This multi-use cushion supports both everyday positioning and post-procedure recovery offering comfortable, stable support that promotes healing and circulation.
The Sandbar cushion is suitable for positioning and support in treatment settings, seating and positioning clinics, and during medical or diagnostic procedures (e.g., x-ray, scans).
The NTG16 Sandbar provides additional support for extremities when using the larger body support cushions such as the NTG01 Seahorse Cushion, NTG02 Eclipse Cushion and the NTG14 Wave Cushion.

EverPod™ Technology
Our proprietary pod-shaped core material is stable yet soft and shapeable —conforming to body contours while staying in place.EverPods nest together under weight to prevent collapse or shifting, and maintain form even after 50,000 pressure cycles. EverPods can also be shifted within the cushion to create tailored support zones— ideal for accommodating asymmetries or adjusting positioning over time.
Modular + Multi-Use Design
Use cushions individually or in combination to create custom solutions for posture control, tone management, and pressure relief.
Built for Clinical Environments
Genuine Dartex™ Clinical Covers Every cushion is encased in genuine Dartex™ 4-way stretch polyurethane fabric—a leading clinical choice for pressure redistribution and infection control.
Multi-Client Use & Durability: Engineered for high-turnover environments, our cushions are designed for multi-client use and meet the strict hygiene and durability demands of hospitals and Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities.
Infection Control Compatibility: 100% fluid-proof (ISO 811) and antibacterial (ISO 22196). The covers are designed to withstand frequent disinfection with hospital-grade wipes, supporting facility-wide infection control protocols.
Pressure Risk Management: The Dartex™ 4-way stretch promotes high levels of immersion and envelopment.
Microclimate Support: High moisture vapor transmission (ASTM E96) assists in managing heat and moisture buildup—a key factor in protecting fragile skin from maceration during long-term positioning.
Global Clinical Adoption: This technology is utilized by hospitals, pediatric centers, and rehab teams across Canada, the UK, Australia, and Scandinavia.
Fluid Resistance: 100% Impermeable (ISO 811 Hydrostatic Pressure Tested)
Vapor Permeability: High Moisture Vapor Transmission (ASTM E96/E96M) to support skin microclimate.
Chemical Resistance: Tested against liquid chemicals (BS EN 14605); compatible with hospital-grade disinfectants.
Durability: Flex-resistance tested (BS EN ISO 7854) for high-use environments.
Infection Control & Safety
Antibacterial: Surface treated to inhibit microbial growth (ISO 22196).
Biocompatibility: Certified non-cytotoxic and safe for prolonged skin contact (BS EN ISO 10993-5).
Fire Safety: Fully compliant with vertical ignition standards (BS EN ISO 6940).
Latex-Free: Yes.
Antistatic: Approved (DIN ISO 2878).
Core Engineering
Type:EverPod™ Modular Core
Composition: Malleable, pod-shaped stability pods designed for immersion.
Long-Term Durability: Shape retention tested to 50,000+ pressure cycles without collapse.
Our Positioning Cushions feature a waterproof, stretch PU cover designed for wipe-down disinfection in clinical settings. To ensure product longevity, safety, and performance, follow these cleaning and disinfection procedures:
Cleaning Procedure
Step 1: Remove Visible Soil: Wipe away spills, dirt, or organic matter using a damp cloth. All surfaces must be visibly clean before disinfection can be effective.
2. Disinfect: Use a soft cloth and a hospital-grade disinfectant wipe. Do not use hard surface cleaners or products with abrasive ingredients, as they may damage the cover.
3. Rinse: Wipe the cushion with a clean cloth dampened with water to remove all disinfectant residue. This step is critical—residual chemicals can compromise the cover's biocompatibility and accelerate material degradation.
4. Dry: Use a dry cloth to fully remove moisture before storage or reuse. Wet fabric is more vulnerable to wear and tear.
5. Important Notes
Do not machine wash or submerge the cushions in water.
Do not use hard surface cleaners or disinfectants formulated for floors and countertops
Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or stiff brushes
Do not use yse concentrated bleach or undiluted disinfectants
Do not use alcohol concentrations above 70% or alcohol-based aerosol sprays
Do not use the cushion if the cover is torn, punctured, or visibly damaged
Storage
Store cushions in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Cleaning Frequency
Routine cleaning: After each patient use or daily in multi-patient settings
Deep disinfection: When visibly soiled or after contact with bodily fluids
Infection Control Standard: To ensure clinical safety, this item is Final Sale once the hygiene seal or plastic sleeve is opened. Returns for a refund are accepted within 14 days only if the product remains in its original, factory-sealed packaging. See our [Shipping & Returns Page] for full details.

Customer Reviews
SofiaDirector of Care, Ontario LTC
"The Seahorse Cushion is now part of our 24/7 postural care program. Staff can adjust positioning overnight without fully disturbing residents, and the EverPod™ core holds its shape across multiple shifts."
AvaDirector of Care, British Columbia LTC
"The Reef Cushion has become one of our most versatile tools — we use it for pelvic and lumbar support in side-lying and as bed rail protection to help keep residents in a midline position. One product covering multiple needs has simplified both our inventory and staff training."
IslaDirector of Care, Saskatchewan LTC
"The Dartex™ covers were the deciding factor for our infection control team — 100% fluid-proof, antibacterial, and built for our disinfection protocols. Paired with the EverPod™ core's immersion and envelopment, it's a combination that genuinely serves our most fragile, high-risk residents day after day."
LucyMother, Ontario
"Finding positioning support that actually works for our son took years. The Seahorse Cushion small was recommended by our OT, and it's been the most consistent thing in his nighttime routine. Knowing he is properly supported lets us rest too."
NoahFamily Caregiver, British
"I didn't realize how much time I was spending readjusting pillows just to keep Mum comfortable and properly elevated. The Eclipse Cushion holds the position without shifting — it's one of those things that just quietly makes daily care easier."
