Pressure ulcers

Simply said, pressure ulcers are wounds on the skin or subcutaneous tissue caused by prolonged pressure. In the case of people in wheelchairs, these are mainly places in the area of the seating areas and bone protrusions, but also in the area of the hindquarters and vertebrae.

Developing and testing Libella Seat Varia

Almost two years of research and development with series of workshops led by Věra Kunhartová were necessary for the final form of Libella Seat Varia. Her deeper research of current wheelchair aids was possible thanks to supporting a student grant at FUD UJEP.
