Equipment and Scope of Delivery

CONTURA consists of an extremely flexible and elastic cushion made from "Thermogran", which can be heated to 80 °C. The cushion is encased in a aluminum supporting-frame. The surface of the cushion is covered with a highly robust fabric cover.

To preserve the cushion, we also provide a protecting cover that is included with all CONTURA models. This cover is made from a highly elastic vulcanized fabric. Put the cover onto the cushion so that it covers its entire surface. The protecting cover can be treated with glue-releasing agents, and should be cleaned with soap sud from time to time.
