  • 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

Clinical Benefits

Designed for the individual who:

  • Requires a comfortable back support to reduce torso pain

  • Requires spinal alignment and support

  • Has skin breakdown/pressure care needs

  • Has bony or protruding skeletal prominences

  • Have changing postural needs

  • Pertains a maladaptive or asymmetric posture

Contouring the Spex Back Support Surface

A special feature of the Spex back support is the adjustable contouring-cell cube system which incorporates into the upholstery unit of the backrest. Easy configurations are performed for asymmetrical trunk postures without the need for complicated custom/bespoke seating.

The cover un-zips from the top of the back support and remains fixed to the shell whilst you remove the inner upholstery unit. Changes to the contouring are made on-the-spot for instant results.

Further postural enhancements to the degree and depth of contouring are achieved with the positioning kit of support wedges (included with every Spex back support).
