Announcing a new service, that assures constant, pressure-free comfort and postural support and correct alignment, 24/7: bespoke cushions.
The service builds on our specialised manufacturing capability, which already produces standard cushions in shapes from a thin arm support to a full-sized mattress.
We can cost-effectively produce our unique Stabilo vacuum posture cushions, in any shape or size, to your individual order, should none of the standard cushions quite meet the client’s specific posture support/correction/alignment issues.
The nature of Stabilo construction- from advanced neoprene- coupled with the vacuum technology, means its cushions can be formed exactly as needed- even bent, curved- and the precise contours for each client maintained.
The vacuum technology extracts the air from the cushion, precisely moulding and fixing the exact configuration of the posture support without any pressure points. Even the degree of firmness can be minutely set.
Because of the way the shape is fixed, there is no need for the frequent re-plumping inevitable with conventional cushions. The vacuum technology holds the shape for weeks at a time.
Should any adjustment be needed to maintain comfort, this can be executed and controlled by the carer/care team.
There is no additional cost if/when re-shaping is needed, just a few seconds of time.
Further, the advanced neoprene material contains no latex, is non-combustible and breathable. It can be wiped clean.
The custom order facility is already being utilised. An OT needed a means of making a client comfortable who had little/no ability to hold their head up, so their chin was on their chest. Working with the OT, AAT designed and produced a C-shaped Stabilo cushion, that can be easily put in position and removed, whilst delivering comfort and postural support.
"Every person, and how their illness or impairment affects them, is unique. “Comfort is fundamental to their ability to cope with daily life. It impacts on their- and their carer(s)’ physical and emotional health & wellbeing. Now, with our bespoke service, Occupational Therapists, physiotherapists have the ability to deliver that comfort, cost-effectively.”
