The Linear Seating System is manufactured from a series of measurements of the client in 90° of hip, knee and ankle flexion. Tissue displacement is then evaluated to determine the types of foam layering required to support the patient’s anatomy.  The seat is constructed of a Kydex® superstructure, which is padded with pressure sensitive foam and covered in neoprene and vinyl. Removable neoprene covers, including the seat cover,

can be machine-washed and air-dried. Additional seat covers may be purchased at a minimal cost. All materials are latex free.
