Wheelchair & Positioning Pressure Mapping
| - Identify how pressures exerted by the body are distributed over seat and back surfaces.
- Understand which positioning choices and cushion solutions provide superior pressure management for the patient.
- Communicate and document the recommended positioning and seating product choices to the client, caregivers and funding agencies.
With new Medicare criteria becoming more stringent, Blue Chip Medical, in partnership with Vista Medical’s innovative pressure mapping system, is the proof positive caregivers need to ensure proper service and product selection.
Seat and Back pressure mapping system provides clinicians with accurate and easy-to-use information resulting in more effective seating solutions.
With our patented Ultra-Thin sensing mat placed between the patient and the seat or back, the clinician can instantly assess pressure patterns and is able to determine how they might be altered. |

ACCURACY
Provides accurate, valuable insight to help determine and implement optimal seating solutions, enabling patients to enjoy full participation in an active life.

|
HIGH-FOCUSED PRESSURES
Viewing the display data, assess each potential seating solution related to the patient.’s seating position and the effect on pressure distribution. This ability to see a visual representation of each solution assists the clinician to accurately recommend an appropriate course of action.
 |
ADJUST
The clinician can develop the most effective positioning strategy and monitor the effect of potential seat and back support surfaces. The clear and easy-to-understand visual representation of pressure distribution allows the clinician and the patient to adjust and evaluate the effectiveness of potential solutions.
 |
LOWER DISTRIBUTED PRESSURES
Review with the patient the results and recommendations. Using the objective data and documentation provided through the pressure mapping system, advise other caregivers and the appropriate funding agencies of the required solutions.
