Sport

For the numerous daily commitments, with the need to get in and out of the car independently and quickly, a product is required that is comfortable, stable, practical, and with features that allow for a long and safe stay in the wheelchair.

Practicality, lightness, stability, comfort, freshness, protection are what an active user needs, always on the move and living life to the fullest.

Airy Sport is designed for users who do not have significant postural needs. In particular, the T-shaped cross-sectional design is intended to allow micro-movements and reduce cutting forces. The design of the horizontal perforations allows both immersion and load distribution to provide the correct support where needed to facilitate movement and daily activities. The vertical perforations in combination with the breathable cover and the 3D layer placed above and below the cushion structure allow 360° air circulation through the cushion.

Microclimate control is universally recognized as a fundamental factor for user comfort and the prevention of skin problems, including pressure sores.

The skin must be kept clean and dry. Temperature and humidity control are crucial factors for the user’s well-being.
Thermoregulation problems can arise as a result of conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s, and spinal injuries.

There are cases where the user remains seated for a long time on devices, such as passive wheelchairs, where air circulation is limited by armrests, cushions, and very enveloping backrests. Finally, the particularly high ambient temperature in certain areas of the world, where summer temperatures reach very high peaks, makes managing body temperature challenging even in situations of perfect physical efficiency and normal mobility.

Tarta’s response is a highly breathable cushion aimed at controlling temperature and humidity.
