Matrix Seating

The Consolor Matrix Seating System is made of interlocking plastic ball and socket joints, which can be manipulated in any direction. The unit is then clamped in place with a strong aluminium or stainless steel locking plate and screw. The matrix sheet can be draped over a plaster cast of the client, created during the moulding process of the assessment. or formed around the body of the client directly. The locking screws are then tightened and the sheet holds its shape. An aluminium frame is formed around the contours to make it rigid and strong enough to be mounted onto a wheelchair. The seat has a padded upholstery cover, which is tailored specifically to the individual shape of the seat. The cover is easily removed for cleaning.
