Discover Kalogon research initiatives. Explore the latest findings, studies, and insights in the world of research at Kalogon. Research The Kalogon team loves looking at data and learning as much as possible about seating and sitting to create the best products possible. Effects on tissue oxygenation in the gluteal region with a smart pressure redistribution wheelchair cushion compared to a pressure relief manoeuvre The study examines the effects of the air-bladder offloading mode of a smart pressure redistribution wheelchair cushion on tissue oxygenation in the gluteal tissue of non-disabled participants. The hypothesis is that the cushion’s offloading mode, which involves sequentially deflating its five air-bladders one at a time for a specific duration, would improve tissue oxygenation during sitting.

These findings delve into data from the wheelchair-user population to closely examine the lived experience of wheelchair users, shedding light on the complexities that shape their daily lives. Read Highlights Read the full report Unveiling the Landscape of Pressure Injuries: Insights from Kalogon’s Inaugural Seating and Sitting Survey Pressure injuries pose a devastating threat, affecting the lives of 2.5 million people per year with around 60,000 deaths annually within the United States alone. The findings in this survey underscore the critical importance of understanding and addressing PIs, a leading cause of preventable death. Read Highlights Read the full report Using high-resolution imaging to study the impact of the Kalogon wheelchair cushion on blood flow in the gluteal area This study investigated how the air-bladder offloading mode of the Orbiter by Kalogon wheelchair cushion (Orbiter) affected blood flow in the gluteal region of non-disabled subjects. Read the Study Inaugural Seating & Sitting Survey Up until this point, we have mainly shared our findings in our white paper, case study, and webinars.

- Orbiter Med | Kalogon
Orbiter Med is an E2609 coded custom cushion featuring Kalogon's Advanced Pressure Management and custom designs for individual needs. ORBITER MED E2609 Custom Cushion Launchpad Online Quote Request Printable Quote Request Form LMN Guidelines Not a clinician? Learn how to get a Kalogon product When One Seating Approach Isn't Enough Orbiter Med brings together two components of custom seating: Individualized Foam Support The cushion is fabricated around the individual’s measurements and clinical needs. Its foam structure includes a soft top layer, air cells positioned between the foam layers, a base layer, and a pelvic well. Clinicians can specify additional supports and modifications based on the user’s presentation. Advanced Pressure Management System Strategically positioned air cells work with the Advanced Pressure Management System (APMS) control box. Machine learning analyzes pressure information and automatically adjusts the air system toward clinician-prescribed levels. The Kalogon app allows clinicians to configure the system and personalize settings for the individual. Together, the custom cushion and APMS provide both individualized postural support and adaptive pressure management. Asymmetry Example Low-Level Design Low Profile with Gluteal Shelf Extension Customize your design for each client based on their needs Functional Benefits Depending on the individual’s presentation, clinicians can use Orbiter Med to address: Pressure Management Use APMS to establish and maintain prescribed pressure settings Kalogon’s APMS technology is designed to support tissue revascularization and maintain blood flow in high-risk areas Individualized Postural Support Customize the cushion’s shape and supports around the user’s anatomy and positioning needs. Changing Activities Create different presets for activities or seating environments that require different pressure-management settings. Through the Kalogon app, clinicians can create up to 10 personalized presets. Each preset can establish recommended pressure levels for a specific seating situation. Once configured, presets can be saved for ongoing use. Movement Throughout the Day Allow the system to respond automatically as the user moves, leans, or shifts. The system responds to movement in real time to help maintain pressure-management settings as the user shifts throughout the day. Environmental Changes Ambient sensing allows the air system to respond to changes in environmental pressure and temperature. The system detects air loss and provides alerts. If air loss occurs, Orbiter Med can automatically inflate to compensate. APMS responds to environmental changes, including changes in temperature and pressure, to help maintain prescribed settings. Complex Custom Seating Situations Kalogon also works with clinicians on custom seating applications beyond the order form. For more information contact us at 321-465-4504 to get in touch with a representative. Who May Benefit From Orbiter Med?* Orbiter Med may be considered for individuals who: Require a custom wheelchair cushion Have difficulty or are unable to perform pressure reliefs Need individualized postural support Require pressure management in high-risk areas Experience different seating needs across activities or environments May benefit from clinician-configured pressure presets Require extended cushion sizing *Orbiter Med is a completely custom cushion available by clinician order only and is not sold directly to consumers.
