Spex Spacer Universal Positioning Base
Enhanced positioning outcomes underneath air and gel cushions
Traditionally, it has been difficult to meet clinical requirements for wheelchair users with pelvic and postural requirements when seated on pressure care cushions.
The Universal Positioning Base assists with these challenges by insertion under the air/gel cushion to configure the base system as per the user's clinical assessment, to achieve a functional outcome for the user whilst not compromising with pressure care properties.
The Spacer Universal Positioning Base comes with both a 10mm thick spacer base, a 20mm thick spacer base, and a pack of 8 contouring obliquity pads. This is ideal for creating moderate contours and adjustments on the flat spacer surface, such as accommodating for a pelvic obliquity. The spacer blocks are also ideal to achieve greater lower leg length by raising the user's cushion up to 30mm.

The Universal Positioning Base should be prescribed by a qualified clinician and care needs to be taken that the configuration and position of the base components does not jeopardise the user's pressure requirements.
The Universal Positioning Base must be used in conjunction with and underneath a pressure care cushion, such as an air or gel cushion option.
