Shape Carved Foam Seating System

SHAPE Carved Foam Seating Systems by Ottobock is designed to offer maximum comfort and functionality, and this is achieved by completing a thorough qualified clinical and environmental assessment.

A physical evaluation is also completed and includes joint movement and range, sitting balance, alignment and flexibility of the spinal column, including the head and neck.

Many other individual practical needs and restrictions are also considered at this stage, such as skin condition, pain, spasticity, vision, reflexes, eating needs, toileting needs, breathing, transfer methods, communication needs and other factors that affect positioning.

Superior Foam

Ottobock is manufacturers of high-quality foams, which promote pressure relief and comfort in the seating industry.

SHAPE custom seating has been manufactured using computerised carving techniques for over 20 years. Therefore, we have unrivalled experience. This is displayed in the quality of our finished seats and the unmatched surface finish of our Carved Foam Seating Systems.

Our Foam Carved Seating System is ideal for experienced pressure issues yet still require postural support.

Customisable Design

SHAPE Carved Foam seats can be made in several foam densities, depending on your needs. It is also possible to use different foams in one seating system to customise the contours to your requirements.

Areas of support can be built-in using firmer foams in the thoracic regions.

All our seats are supplied with two sets of fabric covers and a pelvic positioning belt. We have a range of chest harnesses, headrests and footrests. For those that require additional support, we offer the ability to custom design any of these components.

The final seat is designed to suit your clinical and environmental needs, and we aim to make the seat as compact, stable and secure as possible.

This seat is straightforward to interface with many commonly used manual and powered wheelbases manufacturers and can be made in one or two-piece aluminium or plastic shells.
