Designed & developed in the UK:
The SOS research and development team collaborates closely with healthcare professionals, users, and carers. This synergy guarantees that each product is optimally designed for practical, clinical, and everyday application. Rigorous testing phases are integral, ensuring that each seating system adheres to stringent safety and quality standards.
Specification & Preparation:
Each product starts with a thorough assessment. Following this, detailed CAD layouts are created, capturing the user's unique postural and mobility needs. Our experts then meticulously select the right materials to maximise support and comfort.

As part of the Drive Medical family, SOS excels in both standard and customised solutions, including bespoke moulded systems that utilise advanced methods such as bean bag moulding and scanning. The facility manages every facet, from frame fabrication to upholstery, all under one roof.
Quality Assurance & Testing:
Each product undergoes extensive testing to validate structural integrity, functional support, and user comfort. Compliance with medical device standards and safety regulations are an inherent part of the process.
Seamless Integration & Delivery:
Upon completion, seating systems are expertly integrated with specific wheelchair bases and transport anchor points. The products are then delivered to designated fitting locations, accompanied by comprehensive documentation and support to ensure the user,family or carer receives a leading specialist seating solution that prioritises comfort, quality of life and independence.
