At Smirthwaite, we are committed to continually refining our solutions to deliver the highest standard of clinical care. To ensure the perfect fit, our modular Asiento specialist seating system has evolved. We are excited to introduce three distinct new seat cushion options, each engineered to meet specific clinical requirements and enhance postural control for children, teenagers, and adults with moderate to complex needs.
The right foundation is critical for effective postural management. These new configurations allow therapists to target specific clinical outcomes more accurately than ever before.
Targeted Clinical Outcomes: Meet the New Cushion Range
Every individual has unique postural needs, which is why the Asiento now offers three specialized cushion variations:
• The Standard Contoured Cushion: Engineered to provide increased immersion and lateral support to the lower limbs, helping users maintain a stable, midline seated position.
• The Ramped Cushion: An alternative support system specifically designed to secure the pelvis in a neutral, aligned position and prevent forward sliding.
• The Flat Cushion: Specially created for active users to facilitate functional movement and support greater independence.
Why the Asiento Continues to Be a Trusted Choice for Services
Beyond its enhanced seating configurations, the Asiento’s modular chassis remains a premier choice for busy equipment stores, classrooms, and residential environments:
• Easy Re-Issue for Maximum Value: With its highly adjustable modular system, the Asiento can be quickly decontaminated and adapted to suit the changing needs of another user. This helps equipment stores maximize lifetime value and significantly reduce waste.
• Durable, Stable, and Highly Adjustable: The system features a robust central column base that provides an uncompromised foundation. It utilizes simple handwheel adjustments, allowing therapists to make quick, effortless modifications during assessments.
• Sensory & Physical Feedback: The optional dynamic backrest features adjustable pressure to accommodate user movement, providing critical sensory and physical feedback throughout the day. It supports children with cerebral palsy who present with ataxic movement patterns or increased extensor tone, helping to accommodate involuntary movement while promoting comfort, postural stability and functional engagement.
• Thoughtful, Sound-Sensitive Design: Equipped with a quiet electric hi-lo base, users or caregivers can smoothly raise and lower the chair to the desired height using a remote control—ideal for individuals who are sensitive to sound.
