Reimagining Wheelchair Comfort: Tarkka’s Custom-Latticed Seats with Carbon Technology
The standard foam used in traditional wheelchair seats can lead to some problems for users. Foam traps heat and moisture, which can result in skin breakdown, wound development, and infection. Foam is also known to compress over time, which can alter the intended positioning of the user and require costly replacements.
To address the problems with traditional foam wheelchair seats, Tarkka worked with Carbon to design and produce its Tetrx™ custom wheelchair seating solution.
Tarkka’s latticed seats are designed to integrate with existing wheelchairs while supporting optimal resting seating posture and relieving pressure where needed. Adjustments can be made on the fly to ensure an optimal fit that offers superior comfort and avoids pressure sores.
