Description
Clinical
Functional

Designed for the individual who:

  • Requires a comfortable back support to reduce torso pain
  • Requires spinal alignment and support
  • Has skin breakdown/pressure care needs
  • Has bony or protruding skeletal prominences
  • Have changing postural needs
  • Pertains a maladaptive or asymmetric posture

 

For Mild Bony Prominences For Immersion For Asymmetry
Without even adjusting the cube system, the Spex back support has slight contouring and integrates a comfortable pressure reducing foam surface layer to absorb mild bony prominences and asymmetries for uniform torso contact. For individuals that require immersion into the back support, simply adjust the cube contouring cell system to configure for a perfect fit and shape for the user’s back. For asymmetrical or maladaptive postures, the contour can be arranged to provide the matching shape required to support the user’s torso profile.

 

  • Comfortable pressure reducing foam surface layer to absorb bony prominences.
  • Cube contouring cell system provides configurations for a perfect fit and shape for the client.
  • Customisation to contouring are performed on-the-spot.
  • Created as the solution-solver for asymmetrical back postures.
  • Modular componentry means you can ‘mix and match’ with different lateral pad options and positioning supports.
  • Offers exceptional back/shoulder contact.
  • Sustainable choice for issuing to other users
  • Dual-layer cover reduces shear forces, and breathable air-mesh on back support sides counters moisture and temperature

Thickness of the back support is 7cm. The Spex Classic Back Support is designed to be contoured and this measurement only reflects the thickness without any of this contouring. Therefore the back support thickness will likely be less than 7cm in some sections and more in others.

Spex Classic Back Support fits between wheelchair canes.
