APPLICATIONS FOR VACUUM POSTURE CUSHIONS BY AAT

Stabilo is a system of stabilising vacuum posture cushions with many applications from the promotion of correct sitting positions, through to rehabilitation to support in care.

By appropriate modelling of shape, Stabilo vacuum posture cushions provide correct support for the hips and spine.

AAT Stabilo vacuum posture cushions may be shaped like plasticine and, if required, the shape can be preserved as a hard shell. A suitably modelled mattress also helps to stabilise and correct posture whilst lying down, providing excellent results in cases of high muscle tension (spasticity).

Perfectly fitted to the shape of the body, it allows an even distribution of pressure across the entire surface of the cushion or mattress. This is very desirable in anti-bedsore therapy.

The preserved shape of the various vacuum posture cushions are exceptionally good at stabilising patients with MPD, scoliosis, kyphosis etc.
