Custom Configuration

There are advanced customizations available such as bi-angular back, lumbar support and custom monogramming. For customizations that are not available on the order form please call your local Stealth Representative or one of our Customer Support Representatives.

Bi-Angular Modification

The Bi-Angular back main purpose is to promote a better and more personalized PSIS support. Support that can be tailor on-demand. Even though you can also use an cushion insert for this, the bi-angular modification is the better solution for progressive customization. Some of its features are:

  • Two sections hinged together for angle adjustment.
  • Helps to facilitate natural spinal curvatures, improving overall alignment.
  • The bi-angular back may be instrumental in control of posterior pelvic tilt and head control.
  • R-Back and I-Back configurations available.

Important Note The Bi-Angular back modification is not compatible with ADI Quick Release or 2 point mounting hardware. If 2 point mounting is required contact your CSR or Stealth's Authorized Local Representative.

Foam Modifications

As with many other solutions the TFB has many foam options that allows you to customize the comfort for the actual cushion user. If no customization is noted during ordering, the TFB will come with 1/2in (12.70mm) HR3 as the base foam and 1/2in (12.70mm) Medium SunMate® as the contact foam. You can select combinations of Closed Cell, HR3 and (Soft/Medium/Firm) SunMate foams depending in the level of density the user requires.

We also offer the following foam modifications for a more advanced customization:

  • Curved By Foam
  • PSIS Lumbar Support Insert
  • Foam-In-Place Seating

Coolcore®

Coolcore Technology

Coolcore Logo

What is Coolcore®?

  • Year Round Temperature Control
  • Chemical Free
  • 4-Way Stretch
  • Patented Technology
  • Better Cooling Ability
  • Durable - Last Longer
  • Protects from Sun's Harmful Rays (UPF)

While the other makers of cooling fabrics use a number of chemicals to enhance wicking, transportation and evaporation, Coolcore fabrics are chemical free. To make that possible, we changed the essence of cooling fabric technology right down to its very core.

from Coolcore Website

Coolcore Temperature Management

Year-Round Regulation

A great base layer in summer is a great base layer in winter.

Stealth's Cushions Thermoregulation line is not a new technology, but a new application. The Coolcore Technology starts with cooling but the patented yarn technology makes for a better textile that provides year‑round temperature regulation.

Coolcore Seasonal Cooling Management Diagram

About Coolcore

Coolcore is a research proven performance fabric technology that adapts to its environment and regulates temperature by managing heat and moisture. The proprietary construction helps manage and distribute moisture quickly throughout the fabric to enhance the evaporation and drying time.

Chemical Free Fabric Technology

Normally other brand fabrics use topical chemicals that not only can be harmful to your skin, but after only a few washes, the cooling properties of the product are no longer effective. The Coolcore cooling technology is built into the fabric fibers, preventing any decline in the performance and keeping it's cooling properties. Coolcore patented technology allows for a controlled evaporative process that keeps you cool, dry and comfortable in any condition.

Fabric Benefits

Research driven, patented fabrics from Coolcore are chemical-free and yield remarkable benefits. They cool better, last much longer and offer protection from the suns harmful rays (UPF)

FIPS Custom Mold

Foam-in-Place Seating Solution

The Foam-in-Place Seating (FIPS)

Foam in Place packages include a cover for Foam in Place and one unit FIPS Solution. FIPS SunMate liquid foam technology allows for a custom mold of the client to be created on the spot.
