One of the core ideas behind Bondar is that customization shouldn’t end at the order form. Bodies change. Needs shift. Real-life use highlights things you can’t always predict in an evaluation room. The Field Kit was created to support exactly that reality. It gives clinicians a practical way to continue shaping Bondar after delivery – not by starting over, but by making thoughtful, precise adjustments right on the back support. A Tool for Continuous Fit The Field Kit includes a small set of foam components in shapes that address common, real-world needs: enhancing sacral support, improving lateral contact, adding contour where a user collapses, or refining a bi-angle so you can personalize Bondar. Each piece attaches using hook-and-loop, and everything is intentionally oversized so you can trim it to the exact shape you want. This gives clinicians the flexibility to respond to how the user sits day to day, week to week, or year to year. How It Works Pieces attach directly to the Bondar’s Veltex surface They can be added, moved, layered, or trimmed as needed No tools required beyond scissors Placement differs depending on whether the Bondar is built with XLPE or Polyurethane foam, but in both cases the kit integrates seamlessly Most adjustments take only a few minutes, and they can make meaningful improvements without interrupting the user’s routine or waiting on a remake. Built to Evolve With the User Seating is never static. Whether someone experiences growth, shifting posture, or simply finds new pressure points over time, the Field Kit supports that ongoing evolution. It’s there for the small change, the ones that matter in daily use but don’t require a full redesign. For clinicians, it means having a reliable way to refine Bondar without extra appointments, delays, or guesswork. For users, it means their backrest is something that can keep up with them, not hold them in one fixed shape. Add an Extra Layer of Personalization Alongside the Field Kit, we’re also offering free embroidery on Bondar’s breathable covers. It’s a simple option for adding a name or identifier – useful for clinics, helpful for long-term care environments, and appreciated by users who want something that feels personal. As always, Kalogon believes your seating system should reflect your needs, your identity, and your life – not the other way around.

Etac and Kalogon Announce New Partnership to Expand Access to Smart Cushion Technology for Wheelchair Users. Partnership will enhance Etac’s Star cushion line and expand access to Kalogon’s innovative smart cushion technology for wheelchair users Stockholm, SE (Sept. 11, 2023) - Etac , a world-leading developer of ergonomic assistive devices and patient handling equipment, and Kalogon , a leader in smart seating solutions, today announced a new partnership to bolster the quality and availability of smart seating cushions for wheelchair users worldwide.

This controller enhances most existing air flotation wheelchair cushions to control and maintain pressure set by a clinician. “Partnering with Etac gives Kalogon a competitive edge, leveraging their strong reputation and go-to-market strategies,” said Tim Balz, CEO and founder of Kalogon. “Combining our innovations in smart seating with Etac’s expertise in pressure injuries is a win-win for our businesses and customers.” For more information, visit https://www.kalogon.com/ or https://www.etac.com/en-us/us/ .

Laurie Orlov, Aging and Health Technology Watch Kalogon Launches the First and Only Smart Wheelchair Cushion Designed to Alleviate Pain and Deliver Personalized, Longer-lasting Comfort MELBOURNE, Fla. (February 8, 2022) - Approximately half of wheelchair users will develop pressure injuries in their lifetimes, yet the cushions people use today were invented before the personal computer. With a team of former SpaceX, NASA and Northrop Grumman employees, Kalogon today launched the world’s first smart wheelchair cushion designed to support the healing and prevention of pressure injuries and improve comfort for extended wheelchair use. With more than 3 million wheelchair users in the U.S. growing with an aging population, Kalogon’s mission is to empower this underserved community with a personalized experience they deserve. Leveraging their experience in aerospace design, Kalogon’s patent-pending intelligent pressure sensors analyze pressure points in real-time and intelligently redistribute weight to alleviate pain, accelerate healing of pressure injuries - also known as pressure sores or bedsores - and deliver longer-lasting comfort. A connected app for iOS and Android enables wheelchair users, caregivers and clinicians to browse Kalogon comfort presets or customize and upload their preferred settings to personalize their smart cushion and optimize pain relief. “Wheelchairs haven’t changed substantially for decades, and we believe that by improving the cushion, we can address the biggest pain points for wheelchair users,” said Tim Balz, founder and CEO of Kalogon. “Early Kalogon users have already reported significant improvement in overall comfort and wellness, gaining a greater sense of freedom to live more active lives.” READ FULL ARTICLE ON AGEINPLACETECH.COM
