Symmetrikit
About Symmetrikit
At SymmetriKit their job is to help people achieve the best possible outcomes in 24-hour Postural Care. 24 Hour Postural Care means "Good Positioning". It's all about providing appropriate and comfortable support for those who cannot do this for themselves. Good Positioning is relaxing, comfortable, supportive, and sustainable. The equipment provided should be easy to live with and have minimal impact on carers. The Positive outcomes we strive for include enhanced function, comfort, sleep, and protection of body shape as well as easier care routines.”
Symmetrikit Chair
Sitting well is harder work than it looks. It takes effort to maintain a balanced position and if you can't do that, your chair has to do it for you. The Summetrikit chair provides proper positioning for long-term sitting and pressure relief.
In addition to providing the support you need to help relax, your Symmetrikit chair can be quickly re-positioned for mealtime, play, or activities.
The free-standing table has a generous work surface and can be angled and rotated to suit your needs.
It may be that you need just a bit of functional support, or it may be that you need something more complex. Either way, with our modular Symmetrikit chair, we can help by providing just the right amount of support for your needs.
Our chairs are available in 3 different sizes - all of which are adaptable to suit different needs. For a comparison of chair dimensions click Chair sizes.
We will be happy to discuss your requirements with you and can arrange a free demonstration or assessment
Symmetrisleep Night Time Positioning System
Symmetrisleep, combined with our gentle approach to postural care, helps children & adults to lie straight - improving health & function during the day.
Developed over 18 years ago, Symmetrisleep has been proven to provide comfortable support to those with even the most complex conditions. The system, which can be used day or night, is so adaptable it can be used in all lying positions - helping to provide the client with a good night's sleep.
Evidence from long-term studies and trials demonstrates the effectiveness of the system in improving some conditions and alleviating discomfort.
We continue to improve and develop the system after consultation and feedback from therapists, healthcare professionals, and the families of those using the system.
Coolover Cushion Covers, Sheets, and Air Mantle
How does it work?
Coolover® fabrics contain tiny Omnitherm® microcapsules which absorb excess heat when the body is warm and release it back when the body cools - helping to maintain a more even temperature for a better night's sleep.....and because these 'clever' capsules are embedded in the fibers they get closer to the skin to offer the most effective, 'intelligent' temperature regulating fabric on the market!
CoolOver® and moisture
Excess moisture can cause discomfort and distress but with Coolover®, these issues can be alleviated due to its unique structure. Coolover® is a 'denier-gradient' fabric which means it has a slightly different structure on the outside to the inside. Wider channels near the skin draw moisture away and evaporation occurs on the other side of the fabric.
This reduces the risk of respiratory distress, rashes, and redness.
(CooloverTR3® cushion covers replace our earlier Safetysleep® products and can be fitted to any of our Lowzone® cushions).
We've also introduced a new vented sheet (shown below) for those who require a little more ventilation.
