Protac SensCircle®
Sensory-stimulating multifunctional pillow
Protac SensCircle® is a sensory-stimulating multifunctional cushion that creates a sense of security, no matter whether the user is lying down or in a sitting position. The balls in the cushion's sections stimulate the sense of touch and the muscle-joint sense through weight and deep pressure, and thus promoting an improved body awareness.
The multifunctional cushion can be used as a tool to create a sense of security, allowing the user to rest in bed, on the floor and in a variety of settings such as sensory rooms, in psychiatric and somatic hospitals.
Protac SensCircle® alleviates mental and physical unrest and sharpens concentration. The multifunctional pillow is suitable for both children and adults, and benefits people with anxiety, ADHD, autism, psychiatric disorders, brain damage, dementia, and developmental disorders.
The nine joints of the multifunctional pillow make it flexible and malleable, and its length makes it possible to wrap yourself up and shield yourself from the outside world.
