Anybody heard of this? or have one? http://www.ergomedic-usa.com/page3b.html

Yes! Have 1! Changed my life! Try it if you can. Takes only 1 week, under 1 grand, insurance will likely reimburse most, even if not it's worth it! Alain is the best!

I have no experience with this cushion. But I have learn the hard way that the evaluation is critical for any custom cushion. Many DME vendors do not seem competent to do a complex case. You are near the manufacturer. I would insist that the manufacturer, or someone that they or Lorrie recommends, does the eval. Good luck.
