Spex Classic Surface Back Support

Description

Spex Classic Surface
Back Support

Easily solve upper torso positioning needs for most wheelchair users with the Spex Classic Surface Back Support. The Surface Back Support incorporates the classic Spex contouring cube system to allow on-the-spot customisations for torso comfort and asymmetry needs, whilst also providing greater stability for the user’s upper body and lower trunk.
Greater stability in the trunk can allow for improved head and neck movements, and greater contact surface can aid with pressure distribution for comfort. The contouring and immersion ensures that individual body shape and comfort needs are easily responded to with the Surface Back Support.

The Surface provides superior upper back, shoulder, and pelvic support, and is especially useful in situations where the user requires tilt-in-space and their upper body, shoulders, and lower trunk will have more contact with the contact surface of the back support.

Superior upper back and shoulder support
Enhanced lower trunk and pelvic support
Effortless customisations
On-the-spot adaptions for changing postural needs
Instant results
Cubes can be removed and added at any time
Contouring doesn’t move or slip out of adjustment
Additional contouring support wedges can be used to further enhance the degree of contouring for individual body shapes

While the standard Classic Back Support style with its rectangle shape fits between the wheelchair canes, the Surface sits in front of the wheelchair canes due to the additional shoulder support components. This will inhibit the recline adjustment that is available in most Spex back support hardware.

Benefits

Superior upper back, shoulder, and pelvic support
The surface provides superior upper back, shoulder, and pelvic support, and is especially useful in situations where the user requires tilt-in-space and their upper body, shoulders, and lower trunk will have more contact with the contact surface of the back support.

Instant contouring of the back support surface
Using the renowned contouring cube system within the Spex Classic back support, the back support surface can be easily configured and contoured in real time! If the user’s postural needs change, it can simply be reconfigured at any time! Too easy!

Non-slip contours don’t move out of adjustment
Special cover design allows the contouring cube system to be removed through the top of the back support.

Slots & hole positions on ventilated shell
Slots and holes in the back support shell allows for better ventilation and temperature control for the user. It also allows for an easier installation of head supports, lateral supports and harnesses.

Dual-layer outer cover technology
Dual-layer technology in the back support outer cover reduces shear forces, combating the likelihood of pressure sores. With air-mesh side panels, moisture build-up and the impacts of temperature are countered.
