- Objective data for clinical documentation and insurance justification
The CONFORMat™ System offers advanced pressure mapping for clinicians and researchers focused on seating and positioning. Using a conformable sensor embedded with over 2,000 sensing elements, the system ensures consistent and accurate pressure measurement across curved and contoured support surfaces, such as seat cushions and backrests. It delivers objective, real-time analysis of pressure distribution and Center of Force (CoF) trajectories, helping to identify unseen asymmetries, optimize cushion selection, and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.
The system has been validated in peer-reviewed research, demonstrating superior performance in areas of high loading and complex curvature. Clinicians use CONFORMat to support wound prevention, post-surgical assessment, and patient engagement with visual pressure feedback.

Tekscan’s CONFORMat™ system is widely used in clinical and research settings to improve seating and positioning strategies, especially for individuals at risk of developing pressure injuries. Its flexible, thin-film sensor technology conforms precisely to a patient’s body and support surfaces, enabling accurate, real-time interface pressure measurements—even at complex body contours.
With objective, quantifiable pressure data, the CONFORMat helps clinicians and researchers:
-
Screen for high-pressure zones that increase the risk of sores, ulcers, and wounds
-
Monitor wound progression and treatment outcomes
-
Evaluate seating posture and detect pelvic obliquities or unseen asymmetries
-
Validate and adjust wheelchair cushion selection or bedding supports
-
Assess patient discomfort areas and optimize custom seating systems
-
Engage patients in the process, using clear, color-coded visuals to explain and demonstrate pressure relief strategies
-
Conduct pre- and post-surgical assessments to track functional changes
This system is also backed by peer-reviewed research confirming its superior accuracy and reliability over other interface pressure mats—particularly in areas of high loading and complex curves
