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.

The Classic Back Support, with its rectangle shape, fits between the wheelchair canes, while the T Shape Classic Back Support and the Surface Classic Back Support sit in front of the wheelchair canes due to the additional shoulder and pelvic support components.

For Mild Bony Prominences	For Immersion	For Asymmetry

Without even adjusting the cube system, the Spex back support has slight contouring and integrates a comfortable pressure reducing foam surface layer to absorb mild bony prominences and asymmetries for uniform torso contact.	For individuals that require immersion into the back support, simply adjust the cube contouring cell system to configure for a perfect fit and shape for the user's back.	For asymmetrical or maladaptive postures, the contour can be arranged to provide the matching shape required to support the user's torso profile.
