Q: Whast is Stimulite?
A: A flexible form of aerospace honeycomb that is fusion bonded without adhesives, retaining all the benefits of the base material.
Q: Whast is Stimulite made of?
A: Thermoplastic urethane, a flexible and resilient material that is non-toxic and safe for the body and the environment. The same material can be found in wound dressings and heart valves.
Q: How Does Stimulite Work?
A: Stimulite’s flexible cellular matrix consists of alternating thick-and thin-walled cells that flex when compressed to relieve pressure. When sitting on a Stimulite cushion, the compressed cells radiate outwards to surround and support the anatomy. The “footprint” of the flexible cells stimulates capillary action, bringing more blood to tissue for healthier skin.
Q: What Makes Stimulite’s ventilation System So Unique?
A: Most cushions and support surfaces address the microclimate through the cover material. But research has proven this to be ineffective in controlling heat and humidity. Each cell of Stimulite honeycomb is perforated to allow air to flow both vertically and horizontally, keeping the body temperature from rising and preventing humidity. To complete the ventilation system, our covers are made of natural, breathable fabrics that work with the honeycomb to wick away moisture and minimize sweat.
Q. What makes this cushion different from standard pediatric cushions?
A. Unlike foam cushions, the Corbee uses a Stimulite honeycomb structure made of medical-grade elastomer. It’s lightweight, breathable, and provides advanced pressure relief and moisture control—all critical for a child’s skin health.
Q. Is this cushion suitable for children with special needs or at risk of pressure sores?
A. Yes. It’s especially helpful for children with limited mobility, or those who spend long periods sitting. The cushion helps reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and supports proper posture.
Q. What sizes are available? How do I choose the right size for my child?
A. The Corbee cushion comes in various pediatric sizes. To choose the right one, measure the seat width and depth of your child’s wheelchair or seating system. If you need help, our customer care team can guide you.
Q. Can this cushion grow with my child?
A. While the cushion doesn’t expand in size, Supracor offers a range of sizes. As your child grows, you can transition to a larger size within the same product family for consistency in comfort and performance.
Q. Is it safe for kids who are incontinent or prone to spills?
A. Yes. The cushion’s ventilated design allows moisture to evaporate, and the cover is breathable and washable. For extra protection, you can add a waterproof cover or barrier layer.
Q. How do I clean the Corbee cushion?
A. The cushion and cover are both washable. Both the honeycomb and cover may be washed and dried separately in front-loading machines. Do not use chlorine bleach.
Q. Does the cushion provide postural support?
A. Yes. The honeycomb material adapts to the child’s body and offers gentle postural control, promoting proper pelvic positioning and spinal alignment.
Q. Is this cushion comfortable for all-day use at school or therapy?
A. Yes. The breathable, flexible material keeps kids comfortable and cool, making it suitable for full-day use in school, therapy, or at home.
