CONFORmat
The CONFORMat® System for seat and back pressure measurement will precisely show the location and magnitude of peak pressures without altering the support surface. The sensor’s fully conforming design avoids hammocking or measurement of artifact while capturing data for the most accurate pressure readings available. Now available with VersaTek® technology.
CONFORMat® is a portable interface pressure mapping system which captures seat and back pressure distribution and contact area. This system provides quantified data for diagnosis and objective decision-making on mode of treatment. Unlike other thick, cloth-like sensors, the CONFORMat® sensor conforms to the surface and captures the true interface pressure measurement. Vivid color shows how the body conforms to the support surface and graphical analysis provides documentation of before and after case comparisons.
For clinicians treating ulcers, pressure sores, and other complications related to seating & positioning, CONFORMat® aids in optimal selection and design of seating and positioning support surfaces and solutions right in the clinic. For researchers studying seating, bedding and design-function of chairs, cushions, support materials and mattresses, CONFORMat® provides data information for answering research hypotheses or development questions. CONFORMat® is available with VersaTek® electronics.
