Inserto Tanto postural support system

The Tanto postural support system solution is easily customisable to a unique active wheelchair user; enhancing propulsion whilst offering improved stability for the user.

Inserto’s Pelvic Total Support (PTS) system is beneficial for users who have postural deformities and an increased need of postural containment. The distribution of pressure provided by PTS reduces mechanical stress on deep tissues and therefore significantly aids the prevention of ulcers. This cushion can specifically support:

• Leg length discrepancies, windswept, adduction and abduction of the legs
• Pelvic obliquity, rotation, anterior and posterior pelvic tilt
• Stabilising the Ischium
• Support trochanteric coccygeal-sacral suspension
• Users at medium/high risk of developing decubitus sores
• Users who need lateral control of legs as well as pelvic support to maximize function for wheelchair propulsion.

The Tanto cushion is suitable for use with most wheelchair bases so long as its suitably fixed to the base. This model is ideal for users who complete a side transfer.

Available in 11 base sizes the Inserto Tanto postural positioning system can support users from childhood to Adult. The cushion is made up of a flat base structural kit constructed of 17 closed cell polyethylene inserts which allows for individual configuration, over this a layer of memory foam and a layer of low spring back foam at the rear

The 3D cover offers the best immersion and incontinence resistance whilst still allowing for ventilation. As the cover in anti bacterial it does not require the use of disinfectants when cleaning. The padding  and cover can be washed with gentle detergent.
