Fabrication with a Personal Touch

Every OBSS custom cushion order received at Otto Bock’s Fabrication Center is handled with individual care and reviewed at every step to guarantee quality and accuracy.  As an OBSS custom cushion partner, you have a dedicated Customer Service Support Representative to assist you with job quotes, status updates and anything else.

The client’s file is read and replicated with our unique 5-axis digital carver. The carver carver1.jpgreplicates all the intricate shapes you captured, including challenging requirements like wrap around lateral thoracic supports.

Following carving, our team of skilled individuals performs the finishing work, such as the insertion of a low density “Soft Spot” for high risk areas, or reinforcement in the thoracic lateral supports.  T-nuts can also be uniquely configured to support mounting hardware or positioning accessories you choose.



Finishing Options

You have the choice of three options on how you want your custom cushions finished for your client.

  • Finished – the cushion is sprayed with a moisture resistant covering, a removable cover is sewn for the client, and a sewing pattern is included. The cushion is sent completely ready for the client to use.
  • Trial Fit – the cushion sent back to you before it is spray coated, so you can re-fit the client one more time in the cushion to make sure it meets perfectly the seating and positioning needs of your client. You can make adjustments to the cushion, or mark areas where slight changes need to be made. The cushion is then sent back to Otto Bock to be adjusted and it is sprayed with the final finishing coat, and sent back to you ready for the client to use.
  • Unfinished – the cushion is sent to you as a foam shape only, and is not returned to Otto Bock for finishing.
