Benefits

Lateral support when you need it

- Easily removed: for transfers and other situations where laterals temporarily require removal from the wheelchair, such as sports involving arm movement.
- Easily installed: for extra support in situations such as driving or other transport, when a lateral support is not normally used on the wheelchair.

Easy release mechanism

Simple lever mechanism can be released by either user or carer. Quick-Release Lateral Supports are available in left-handed and right-handed configurations, so the lever can be positioned in the best spot for releasing.

Mounts to either the wheelchair back or cane

- Back mounted brackets: suitable for installing the lateral directly to Spex back supports and an added width adjustment capability.
- Cane mounted brackets: option to mount the lateral off the wheelchair canes gives greater flexibility with installation and allows a greater variety of mounting positions. Although the cane mount can be angled slightly, it is dependent on the back support and wheelchair size.

Options available

- Axial Fixed Angle: suitable for all back support models and includes extended bars to fit to a variety of back support foam thicknesses.
- Axial Swing-Away: also includes angle adjustment as well as swing away function. Suitable for fitting to Spex Classic, Comfi and SuperShape Back Supports.
