Control

Thanks to Tarta’s many years of experience, the R&D team has created the new line of postural cushions to provide very high skin protection along with great stability and excellent comfort. The Control cushion, with its foam cylinders of different densities, allows modifying the cushion’s structure to adapt it to the user’s postural needs. A pre-ischiatic block can be configured to reduce forward sliding, create a pelvic hollow, accommodate pelvic asymmetries, create recesses for the femurs, and promote abduction or adduction, and much more.

The particular T-shaped form of the longitudinal section is designed to allow micro-movements and reduce cutting forces. The design of the horizontal holes allows both immersion and load distribution to provide the correct support where needed to facilitate movement and daily activities. The vertical holes, in combination with the breathable cover and the 3D layer placed above and below the cushion structure, allow 360° air circulation through the cushion.

Control is the only cushion in the Airy line that also comes with air cylinder kits. The air cylinder kit consists of three self-inflating inserts connected to each other through the opening and closing of the valve. The air kit can be inserted only in the ischial part of the cushion, independently on both the right and left sides.

It is possible to independently adjust the two air kits to create a pelvic hollow or to accommodate pelvic asymmetries, among other possibilities.

The Control cushion, with the use of various foam cylinders with different densities, allows for the creation of postures very close to the user’s needs.
Thanks to the different foams, it is possible to modify the configuration of the cushion independently on both sides and, above all, personalize the ischial area differently from the femoral area.
It is certainly a very versatile tool.

Microclimate control is universally recognized as a fundamental factor for user comfort and the prevention of skin problems, including pressure injuries.

The skin must be kept clean and dry. Temperature and humidity control are crucial factors for the user’s well-being. Thermoregulation problems can arise as a result of conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s, and spinal injuries.

There are cases where the user remains seated for a long time on devices, such as passive wheelchairs, where air circulation is limited by armrests, cushions, and very enveloping backrests. Finally, the particularly high ambient temperature in certain areas of the world, where summer temperatures reach very high peaks, makes managing body temperature challenging even in situations of perfect physical efficiency and normal mobility.

Tarta’s response is a highly breathable cushion aimed at controlling temperature and humidity.
