STIMULITE...The Intelligent Support Surface
R e v o l u t i o n a r y
What is Stimulite?
A flexible form of aerospace honeycomb that is fusion bonded without adhesives, retaining all the benefits of the
base material.
What is Stimulite made of?
Modern
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.
How does Stimulite work?
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.
Clean
What makes Stimulite’s ventilation system so unique?
Cool
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.
Are Stimulite cushions adjustable?
Because Stimulite honeycomb contours to each individual’s anatomy and automatically equalizes pressure
across its surface, Stimulite cushions are self-adjusting.

Maceration Resistance
Light
Skin maceration is softening of the skin as a result of continual exposure to
heat and bodily fluids or moisture. Severely softened or macerated skin is
less tolerant of pressure and can lead to breakdown. Stimulite honeycomb
is perforated, enabling air to circulate and moisture to evaporate which
helps maintain skin integrity. The “footprint” of the honeycomb cells and
their flexing action stimulates blood flow to enhance circulation.
Pressure Relief plus Positioning
B r e a t h a b l e
Machine Washable
F l e x i b l e
Stimulite honeycomb relieves pressure by distributing it away from hot spots.
As a result, bony protuberances “feel” the same pressure as the surrounding
anatomy. The honeycomb cells conform to body shape, and distribute weight
uniformly. Additionally, Stimulite honeycomb stabilizes any position due to
the axial buttressing of the honeycomb cell walls perpendicular to the
anatomy.
Shear Force Reduction
The horizontal stiffness of a material determines both its shear resistance
and stability. Too much stiffness increases shear forces, while too little decreases stability. Stimulite honeycomb minimizes shearing without sacrificing
stability. The honeycomb cells align themselves axially to the body, flex with
movement to reduce shear forces against the skin and then instantaneously
resume their original shape.
