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.
Applications
Applications:
- Screen for pressure that may cause sores, ulcers, and wounds
- Identify pressure on high risk areas
- Monitor progression and treatment of wound ulcerations
- Pre and post-surgical evaluations
- Assess seating and posture abnormalities
- Assist in writing orthotic prescriptions
- Assess deviated Center of Force position and trajectories
benefits
Benefits:
- Fully conforming sensor significantly reduces hammocking
- Reduces the incidence of ulceration, tissue deterioration, and speeds healing of existing pressure sores, ulcers, and wounds
- Provides better selection of support surfaces and cushions
- Assists in writing treatment prescriptions
- Tangible, visible biofeedback for the client
