Kalogon debuted the Orbiter in late 2022 as a smart wheelchair cushion that you can adjust using an app. Their newly released Orbiter Med takes the original cushion’s smart features and adds a variety of postural support options.
Each Orbiter Med cushion is fully customized to meet your individual seating and postural support needs. Customization options include medial and lateral thigh supports, pelvic supports and a pre-ischial ridge. The Orbiter Med is appropriate for those with pelvic obliquities, scoliosis and leg length discrepancies, as well as amputees.
Like Kalogon’s original cushion, the Orbiter Med features Kalogon’s Air Management System, which uses machine learning and air-cell technology to redistribute weight and reduce pressure on sensitive areas. With the Kalogon app, you can manage pressure levels and make adjustments for different activities.
“Our first Orbiter cushion was created out of a need for innovation in seating for people at higher risk for pressure injuries, who have been ignored for decades,” says Tim Balz, CEO and co-founder of Kalogon. “Orbiter has been proven to improve blood flow and has already changed the lives of countless customers living active seated lives, but we know that one size doesn’t fit all. Orbiter Med is a fully customized system that blends the best technology in pressure management with tailored stability and postural support specific to a patient’s needs.”
The Orbiter Med has been approved for billing by Medicare and will begin shipping in summer 2024. For more information, visit the Kalogon website.
