CONFORMat® Handheld System

seating & positioning analysis

Advanced, extremely portable, pressure mapping system which captures seat and back pressure distribution and contact area.

<em>CONFORMat</em><sup>®</sup> Handheld System

CONFORMat Handheld System Features:

  • Advanced, extremely portable, pressure mapping system

  • Enables you to view and capture pressure data on the Pocket PC (PDA) giving you great portability and the ability to conduct dynamic measurements during ambulation

  • Displays pressure data in real-time or it can be set to record data over a period of time

  • Data files are fully compatible with classic (PC acquired) CONFORMat data files

  • Pressure data can be captured, stored and analyzed on the PDA

  • Data can also be uploaded to the PC for more involved or comparative analysis if the CONFORMat PC software is also purchased

  • Sensor conforms to the surface and captures the true interface pressure measurement unlike other thick, cloth-like sensors

  • Other key features include:

    • Battery powered from Pocket PC (PDA); no external power required.

    • Operates as a MS Pocket PC.

    • Stores data in Pocket PC (PDA).

    • Can transfer data to other PDAs or PCs via infrared port, modem, Bluetooth or WiFi

 

Benefits of Pressure Mapping:

 

  • Pressure map between client and support surface so you can help reduce the incidence of ulceration and tissue deterioration in high-risk areas and prevent pressure sores from developing

  • Visual feedback that will assist you in making the most appropriate support surface and cushion recommendation

  • Improve the quality of prescriptions for cushions and related products

  • Educate clients about high-risk areas

A Tekscan system consists of scanning electronics, software, and patented thin-film sensors.
