Fits to You, Not Just to the Chair
When it comes to finding the right size and style, the Zygo fits to the user not just to the chair!
User-focused scripting – by user size, not wheelchair width ensures a tailored fit to the torso.
Extensive range of size and style combinations available from two shell contours (Active and Deep) and varying shell heights (Lo and Mid).
Aesthetic and Minimalistic
Look your best with Zygo! From the perfectly contoured shape, to the futuristic and tasteful ventilated shell pattern, achieve effortless style and class through the Zygo’s elegant design! The Zygo lets you be your true self. All Zygo back supports are supplied with a cover extension.
Compatibility With Different Wheelchairs
Unique breathable shell design allows interfacing of the shell to a range of different wheelchair styles, from lightweight manual chairs to complex power chairs. The carefully placed hole cut-outs allows the shell to be directly mounted to certain wheelchair frames and is also compatible with central mounting systems.
Easy to Use and Easy to Adjust
From installation through to adjustment the Zygo has been designed to be easily adjustable, easy to use, and easy to remove. Suited to those with limited hand function, the easy ‘drop-in’ installation is made possible by the lightweight quick-release Drop Mount Hardware. The invertible shell design (on mid-height back supports) provides easy adjustment of the lateral height to achieve optimum trunk stability, enable a precisely tailored fit and accommodate postural and growth requirements. Removable and washable cover design.
More Comfort and Freedom to Move
Zygo users experience true freedom with unrestricted arm movement and scapula clearance. The Zygo provides superior comfort and flexibility which is achieved through the breathable padding design and ventilated shell that reduces the contact surface area around the user. The curved shape of the lower region of the back support is designed to provide firm, targeted support to the pelvis, while giving clearance to the soft regions of the hips and buttocks to encourage a neutral posture and comfortable sitting position.
Height Options
The Zygo Active back support is available in two height styles: Lo to reach the lower-thoracic region and the Mid with a range of height options to reach the mid-thoracic or upper-thoracic region. The Mid style back support provides support for the pelvis, lumbar spine & thoracic spine. The Mid shell can be installed either way up to position the lateral height for optimum trunk stability. The Lo style back support has a round, padded top relief to support & protect the spine this keeps the arms and trunk free to move, with an extended central support to stabilise the back.
