Upcoming events
Innovations in Seating: Gel, Air, and Advanced Cushion Design
Join us for a half-day clinical education event exploring the latest in wheelchair seating innovation. Chris from Blake Medical will introduce dry polymer gel, a stable, leak-free, and naturally temperature-regulating material with broad applications across seating, bathing, lift chairs, and vehicles. David Fagan will then present on Star Cushions, Axiom Cushions, and the Kalogon Booster system, highlighting Star’s vertical air cell technology for high-risk clients, the adaptive StarLock cushion, and the Axiom range designed with Science of Seating principles for optimal support and comfort. The session concludes with the Kalogon Booster, which applies AI to automate air-cell pressure management, ensuring consistent support, leak detection, and greater independence.
Introduction to Supported Lying
Join us for a highly interactive session where you’ll get hands-on experience with a wide range of supported lying systems—all set up and ready for trial. This practical event will highlight the key features of each system, allowing you to compare solutions side by side and build confidence in selecting the right equipment for your clients’ needs. You’ll learn how supported lying systems improve sleep quality, influence tone and posture throughout the day, and contribute to achieving meaningful NDIS goals, all while exploring evidence-based research, outcome measures, and real-world success stories.
