Functional benefits
Enhanced Occipital Shaping to Promote Head Alignment
Occipital shaping of the foam ensures posterior pad control, keeping the users head is in a supported position. Anatomical surface shaping follows the natural contours of the head and neck with enhanced occipital and suboccipital support. Featuring a V-shaped cut out provides relief directly behind the neck to remove pressure from the neck muscles and tendons.
Minimal to Protracted Support
The Contour 250 provides maximum support through a minimal support surface while the 350 has extended surface for extra head stability and safety. The deep contouring featured in both sizes provides superior comfort, lateral protection and maintains alignment whilst still facilitating active head rotation.
Optimal Lateral Position for Unimpaired Vision
The Contour Head Support features a lower lateral support position allowing for unobstructed user vision. Cradle design with a natural anatomic support surface helps to realign the head within the pad and ensures an optimal midline position.
Shear Reduction Cover Design
The Contour Head Support pad has a clever dual-layer fabric surface to aid in shear reduction decreasing friction in addition to being gentle on the hair. The cover is removable for washing and hygiene purposes.
Lateral Position Adjustment
Minor adjustments of the lateral positions can be achieved by applying force to mould the shape of the pad. The sides can be squeezed tighter to wrap closer around the head or stretched open wider if required.
