Spex Tessellated Shape System

Fine-tune positioning. Boost comfort. Build better support.

The Spex Tessellated Shape System is a unique positioning kit which enables you to create contouring for improved seating and positioning.

This system can be added to any back support from the Spex range to maximise trunk stability, enhance positioning and distribute pressure across the back contact surface.

The different foam densities can be tailored to the user’s support and positioning requirements using various layering techniques.

Three TSS kits are available:

  • Tessellated Shape System
  • TSS Lite
  • TSS Elements

How to contour back supports with the TSS Lite Kit

When should the TSS be used?

The Tessellated Shape System can be used:

  • To assist clients with mild postural needs when using a standard back support with flat padding
  • In all situations where a supportive build-up foundation may be beneficial to assist positioning and comfort
  • To improve sitting posture and enhance function (e.g. creating sacral/lumbar supports)

What do the different blocks do?

Easy and effective back support contouring: stack and configure each component

  • Upgrade Vigour, Manta or other Spex back supports in order to maximise stability, positioning and seating tolerance.
  • Different densities are colour coded for easy application.
Spex-Tessellated-Shape-System-21-Base-Building-Blocks-medium-1024x1024 Blue Base Building Block Firm density shape is used to build a firm foundation for the contouring.

The blue blocks are used to build a firm and stable foundation for contouring and to provide the body surface with sensory feedback to the position of the support.

Spex-Tessellated-Shape-System-23-Intermediate-Building-Blocks-medium-1024x1024 White Intermediate Building Block Medium density shape is used to build up shapes where positioning is required.

The white blocks are designed to layer and build shapes for tailored positioning.

Spex-Tessellated-Shape-System-24-Overlay-Blocks-medium-1024x1024 Charcoal Overlay Block Softer density shape is used for creating softer overlay over the previous blocks.

The charcoal blocks are used to enhance comfort by providing a softer foam density and smooth out the edges of the underlying building blocks.

Spex-Tessellated-Shape-System-26-Velcro-Fastening-Strips-medium-1024x1024 Velcro fastening strips These are used to smooth over the contours and also to hold it all together.

Note: The colours of the foam blocks have recently changed. Previously the blue elements were the softest, grey elements were medium density, and the black elements were firmest density.
