How Programmable Foam® reduces pressure injury risks by improving microclimate.

Create it REAL

11:00 AM - 11:45 AM Fri, 22 May
Room M5, Floor -1, Messehaus

Description

Traditional foam often acts as an insulator, trapping heat and moisture against the skin. In this workshop, Create it Real CTO and founder Jeremie Gay shares the technical learnings from intensive testing and certification of Programmable Foam® for seating aids. We explore how engineered 3D technologies optimize microclimate to significantly improve patient comfort and long-term health outcomes.

The session is based on the findings from our whitepaper, When your life depends on wheelchair seating: 11 facts about microclimate that can save lives. Joining the session, Jan Warnke from the RAS-team will present real-world patient cases, demonstrating how precision-controlled microclimates have transformed lives in clinical practice.

Learn how to:

Master microclimate control: Understand the science of heat and moisture dissipation within 3D-printed technologies. Optimize pressure distribution: Align Programmable Foam® density with clinical requirements to prevent pressure injuries. Apply clinical evidence: Translate testing data and patient case studies from the RAS-team into better seating prescriptions. Implement sustainable solutions: Reduce your carbon footprint by replacing traditional chemical-heavy foams with recyclable, additive-manufactured alternatives.This workshop targets orthopedic professionals curious about reducing labor and carbon footprint while stepping into sustainable additive manufacturing. It may be simpler than you imagine.
