Constructa Flex Cushion

Because Every Body is Different

Every wheelchair user is different, with their own individual needs and this own unique set of challenges.

A solid foundation is the base for a stable posture, requiring a cushion to support the user’s pelvis for their unique physical requirements. Which is exactly what the Constructa cushion does.

Functional benefits

A refined fit

Constructa cushions match the body's contours, thanks to adjustments aligned with our anatomy.

Constructa-Flex-8-Ultimate-Comfort-Ischial-Insert

Performance under pressure

The entire cushion was designed to manage pressure. The invertible positioning blocks provide the foundation for a supportive yet immersive cushion, while the ischial well blends without any firm edges for ultimate comfort. The Thigh and Trochanter Blocks have a dual-layer construction using medium and firm foams. These blocks can be inverted with the firm grey foam at the top to reduce the immersion in a cushion zone, changing the overall pressure distribution of the cushion.

Our Most Anatomically Adaptable Cushion

The latest research shows that asymmetric limited hip flexion is closely linked to the development of other conditions, including pelvic obliquity, trunk asymmetry, scoliosis and windswept hip distortion.

A wheelchair cushion that can accommodate asymmetrical hip angles is able to maintain or improve posture over time, instead of contributing to the development of other postural conditions.

The Constructa system is a range of modular cushions which can adapt to accommodate complex postural needs for users of all ages. From simple seating requirements to the most challenging demands, the result is better seating which minimises pressure while maximising comfort.

Constructa cushions are ideal for users with...

Spex Constructa Flex Cushion enabling adjustable contouring to accommodate flexion postures and pelvic asymmetry.

Issues with areas of pressure

And a variety of other symmetric and asymmetric postures.

The result is a cushion which gives clinicians the power to provide refined solutions quickly while maintaining the ability to adapt and evolve over time.

Constructa Cushion

Available in 14″ – 20″ Widths

An array of improved positioning features (including adjustable blocks for growth or asymmetry as well as adjustable contours for thigh and pelvic control) dramatically enhance the adjustment range.

A structured ischial well distributes and offloads pressure, adding to the comfort and overall experience for the user. This ability to provide complex custom solutions with off-the-shelf products means clinicians can quickly provide relief for users with a wide range of physical challenges, including…

  • Flexion limitations
  • Pelvic obliquities
  • Windsweeping
  • Abduction
  • Leg length discrepancies

Who can use a Constructa Cushion?

The Constructa range of cushions was designed to accommodate and compensate for a wide range of symmetric and asymmetric postures.

Users who will benefit the most from this highly adaptable system include…

  • Those who need to balance, stabilise, and maintain positioning of the legs and pelvis.
  • Those who need pressure relief under bony prominences.
  • Those who may need changes in position due to growth or surgery.
  • Individuals leg length discrepancies, wind-swept, pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, posterior/anterior pelvic tilt.
  • Individuals with a moderate risk of pressure injuries/decubitis pressure sores.
  • Individuals with adduction and abduction of the legs.

Clinical Applications

The ground-breaking design of our cushion gives therapists the ability to create a configuration which satisfies even the most complex postural requirements. In doing so, the Constructa Cushion will help…

  • Prevent the ischial tuberosities from sliding forward.
  • Provide offloading of the ischial tuberosities.
  • Obtain correct hip angles and flexion angles of the thighs.
  • Maintain correct transverse thigh angles.
