Technology & Products
Key Products
Orbiter smart cushion (AI-driven air cell technology); Verro custom wheelchair cushion line with 3D-printed variable-density lattice technology and dual-density foam option
Technological Advantage
Advanced Pressure Management System (APMS) with patent-pending air cell technology; machine learning algorithms that adapt to user movement in real-time; 3D-printed variable-density lattice elastomer construction; over 200 automated offload cycles per day; Medicare coding (E2609, E2617, K0108) for insurance reimbursement.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Clinically-validated smart seating that uses AI and patent-pending air cell technology to automatically redistribute pressure, improve blood flow, and prevent pressure injuries for wheelchair users and other seated populations.
How They Differentiate
Combines real-time pressure sensing, machine learning, and automated air cell adjustment in a single cushion system — unlike traditional static foam/gel cushions. Also offers 3D-printed variable-density lattice cushions (Verro Lattice) that provide localized firmness variation impossible with conventional materials. Clinically validated to provide pressure relief equivalent to a forward-lean offload.
