Custom seating systems
We design and manufacture fully customised postural seating systems to improve stability, comfort, and quality of life for each user. The entire process is carried out by Gracare and Grau Soler, with clinical and technical oversight at every stage.
A seating system tailored to each individual
A proper positioning system has a direct impact on comfort, function, and long-term health. However, standard solutions are not suitable for everyone.
At Gracare, we design custom postural seating systems for people with complex seating needs, taking into account their diagnosis, progression, and daily environment.
Each seating system is developed following an individual clinical assessment and manufactured using our own technology, ensuring precision and control throughout the entire process.
Who are custom seating systems designed for?
- Children and adults with cerebral palsy
- People with neurological conditions
- People with spinal cord injuries
- Wheelchair users who require specialised positioning
- People with postural deformities or advanced support needs.
- Users who cannot achieve adequate stability with standard seating systems
How we design a custom seating system at Gracare
Specialist assessment
Custom digital design
In-house manufacturing using advanced technology
We use a 7-axis milling robot to transfer the digital design into foam with maximum fidelity and precision finish.
Testing and final adjustments
The same specialist responsible for the case carries out the testing, adjustments, and adaptations needed to achieve the optimal result.
Gracare 4D Method
- Greater precision
- No wrinkles or deformations
- Better control of positioning
- Reduced need for manual post-processing
- Unique system in Barcelona
- Backrest inclination
- Degree of abduction
- Milling block design
- Armrests
- Abduction block
- Real-time adjustments
The mould is manufactured using our 7-axis industrial robot by Stäubli, a leader in high-precision robotics.
Advantages:
- Exact replication of the digital model
- Maximum fidelity to the clinical design
- Automated production
- Versatility for seating systems, headrests, abduction blocks, and other components
Although manufacturing is robotised, all seating systems are finished by hand.
An expert technician:
- Adjusts the mould
- Makes corrections after testing
- Adapts the seating system to the wheelchair frame
- Optimises finishes and comfort
Because we are working with people, not industrial parts.
We do:
- Technical testing of the seating system
- User fitting trial
- On-the-spot final adjustments
- Afterwards, painting and upholstery are completed before final delivery
Because we are working with people, not industrial parts.
