Description

New contour seat as a flexible interface between you and your power wheelchair

For years, the Ottobock contour seat has been offering you a good way to support your sitting position in your power wheelchair.

It is our aim to customise the interface between the body and the power wheelchair even further. The new, improved contour seat was thus developed by experts from the fields of physiotherapy and occupational therapy. The result of this productive collaboration was an ideally shaped seat – which can be ordered in new sizes and contours.

Optimised sitting comfort - with new sizes and contours

The Ottobock contour seat was developed jointly with physiotherapists and occupational therapists. Besides the aim of optimum support for your sitting position, the selection of sizes and contours was also extended.
Selection of two contours for custom fitting
Depending on the postural support required, seat padding with a deep or flat shape is available.
Optimal positioning of the pelvis and thighs
What is known as a ramp has been incorporated for the optimum positioning of the pelvis and the thighs. This, along with the back padding, supports active pelvic straightening and can prevent the pelvis from sliding forwards.
Ergonomically shaped front edge of the cushion
The front edge of the cushion is ergonomically shaped and features a bottom gap. This offers more space for the calf muscles and enables a knee angle of up to 90 degrees.
Stabilisation of the hip position
The front seat base is formed by the anatomically shaped seat surface, which offers a high level of lateral stability. The recess in the cushion for the thighs prevents them from rotating inwards or outwards and thus provides a physiological position that relieves the hip joint.
Reduction in the risk of pressure sores
In the trochanter region, space has been left at the sides to avoid pressure points in this critical area. This is also the reason for the seams running outside the bone structures (trochanter, ischium). All seat and back padding is produced and covered in a customised manner.
Covers
Two types of cover are available: easy-care synthetic leather and breathable spacer fabric (fabric cover). Both materials prove to be extremely flexible and resilient in daily use. High-quality contrasting seams give the seat a sporty, modern design.
Optional incontinence cover
A bi-elastic incontinence cover is available separately. This is fitted directly onto the seat padding foam.
