Orbiter Med now offers new gluteal extension, contour adjustments for increased comfort and pressure relief for more body types
Melbourne, Fla. (March 18, 2025) - Kalogon, a leader in smart seating solutions, today announced its custom wheelchair cushion Orbiter Med will now be available in extended sizing. The new sizing options expand accessibility to a broader range of users who need improved support and pressure relief.
Launched in 2024, Orbiter Med combines Kalogon’s groundbreaking Advanced Pressure Management System (APMS) with the individualized postural support of a custom cushion reimbursable by insurance. Starting today, Orbiter Med is now available in sizes up to 27 inches by 27 inches, ensuring that more wheelchair users—regardless of their body type—can benefit from Kalogon’s smart seating technology. This expanded sizing was developed in response to consumer feedback, aiming to serve a broader audience who experience difficulties with offloading and weight shifts.
"Our goal has always been to deliver adaptive seating solutions that solve direct problems for our customers," said Tim Balz, CEO and co-founder of Kalogon. "Wheelchair users are diverse and have unique needs for a cushion, from postural support to skin protection. The first iteration of Orbiter Med has been a game changer for Medicare-coded cushions, and the introduction of expanded sizing is an important step toward serving a greater population."
Kalogon adjusted Orbiter Med based on feedback from clinical advisors and customer requests. These improvements include offering a gluteal extension to the back of the cushion, optimal performance up to 550 lbs., and adjustments to the contours of the pelvic well for redundant tissue. These refinements ensure that Orbiter Med provides even greater comfort and functionality for users with specific postural and pressure relief needs. Orbiter Med still offers all the original cushion modifications, including variable sizes for medial, posterior lateral pelvic, lateral thigh and residual limb supports.
Clinicians and seating specialists can order Orbiter Med by contacting Kalogon to be connected to their local representative at Kalogon.com.
