management, and exceptional dissipation of heat and moisture.

FlexFormTM Reduces Weight-Bearing Loads in At-Risk Areas. FlexFormTM allows clinicians and suppliers to assess

the seat surface from below; fine-tuning individual straps

as needed for spot-relief of at-risk high pressure areas.

The durable web straps are positioned to conform to the

user’s unique three-dimensional profile; ensuring maximum

pressure redistribution away from at-risk areas, while enabling

ventilation (heat & moisture dissipation) in the seat surface area.

FlexFormTM is a comprehensive seating solution, addressing:

• Pressure distribution

• Friction & shear

• Microclimate (moisture & temperature)
