portable interface pressure mapping system which captures seat and back pressure distribution and contact area.
new!
in a recent study1, the conformat® was found to have superior performance over other interface pressure mats on:
- pressure magnitude readings at areas of highest loading and at the most complex curvatures.
- buttocks immersion indicating least amount of hammocking.
- least overall influence between the buttocks and common seat cushions.
-
portable interface pressure mapping system that captures pressure distribution and contact area of the seat and back
-
provides quantified data for diagnosis and objective decision-making on mode of treatment
-
sensors conform to the surface and capture the true interface pressure measurement unlike other thick, cloth-like sensors
-
vivid color shows how the body conforms to the support surface and graphical analysis provides documentation of before-and-after case comparisons
-
unique conforming capabilities of the conformat provide for optimal contouring of the buttocks allowing the patient to "sit" in the cushion or support surface with minimal sensor interference
-
aids in optimal selection and design of seating and positioning support surfaces and solutions right in the clinic
-
provides data information for answering research hypotheses or development questions
benefits of pressure mapping:
- fully conforming sensor significantly reduces hammocking
- reduces the incidence of ulceration and tissue deterioration
- provides better selection of support surfaces and cushions
- assists in writing treatment prescriptions
- tangible, visible biofeedback for the client
