Custom Design
The custom design service provides custom designed or modified equipment where standard or commercially available equipment is not available.
What We Do
Our objective is to assist people in meeting their rehabilitation aims, and hence we can provide equipment for use in the home, workplace or to facilitate established leisure interests. We are, however, mainly involved with the following categories of equipment.
- aids for daily living, e.g. equipment for eating, drinking and personal care
- mobility aids, e.g. walkers
- therapeutic equipment, e.g. positioning systems, modifications to static seating.
Where possible, the service will adapt or modify existing equipment, but we can also design and manufacture custom devices when no alternative exists. We regret however that we are unable to manufacture devices which are already commercially available, or supply the equipment to be modified.
How to Refer
We accept referrals from Allied Health Professionals, especially Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Orthotists and Prosthetists, and work closely with the referrer throughout the development process.
Repairs
Repairs will only be completed on devices supplied and modified by the SMART Centre’s Custom Design Service. If you have a device that requires repair please ring 0131 537 9177 or submit a repair request via this repairs form.
Please note repairs may require you to come to the SMART centre so we can access the workshops.
