Seating & Positioning

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 Spacer Universal Positioning Base comes with both an ischial contour base and a pack of 8 contouring obliquity pads. This is ideal for clients who require a pre-ischial ledge that supports the pelvis/thighs and helps prevents the user from shifting forward on the wheelchair cushion. This is especially helpful for user’s with posterior pelvic tilt.

The Hip Flexion Contour Universal Positioning Base comes with 1x hip flexion contour base and a pack of 8 contouring obliquity pads.

This is an ideal solution for users that have limited hip flexion and require the front of their cushion to be “ramped” downward slightly. The angle is fixed at 10°, however this can be slightly reduced or increased with the use of the Velcro contour pads and Tessellated Shape System pads. Moderate asymmetrical hip flexion limitations can also be accommodated by adding the Velcro contour pads under one of the user’s thighs to raise it up slightly in comparison to the other thigh. Similar to the Ischial Contour Universal Positioning Base, this also features a pre-ischial ledge to support the user’s pelvis and prevent them from sliding forward on the cushion.

Creating possibilities for complex sitting postures!

Flex cushion implements a truly adaptable and easy approach for even the hardest-to-solve cushion requirements for users with complex postures.

As its name describes, Flex has been designed to fulfil the postural requirements of wheelchair users who present with limited hip flexion. Up-to-date research shows that a considerable number of clients with cerebral palsy at GMFCS level V, present with asymmetric limited hip flexion. This condition must be ruled out or compensated as it has been linked to the development of other conditions like pelvic obliquity, trunk asymmetry, scoliosis, and windswept hip distortion (Ágústsson, A. et al, 2017).

Considering a lack of products available that can support clients with symmetric or asymmetric limited hip flexion, and considering the negative impact that this can have on people’s posture and function, we have developed this superior, comfortable, pressure relieving, stable and highly configurable cushion able to address even the most challenging postural requirements.

Every Flex comes with an easily configurable strategic positioning base. The innovative and clinical benefits of the pads and wedges allows the prescribing clinician to achieve a result on-the-spot whilst having the peace of mind that its able to change for future unseen posture changes.

Flex has a unique cover design which can change its shape. This ensures that once all the adaptations are done to the inner foam unit, the incontinence and outer covers are manipulated for a comfortable fit.

All the great benefits of the Spex Axial Lateral Trunk Supports, but in a smaller package, perfectly proportioned for kids!

Superior trunk positioning and pressure distribution

The Axial Biangular lateral trunk support has been designed to provide superior trunk positioning and improved pressure distribution for individuals who present with scoliosis and/or other complex trunk asymmetries observed on the frontal plane. Its system comprises a pivot-hinge within the lateral pads which allows for intricate positioning for both concave and convex deviations as it adjusts to different body presentations. Together with the Axial technology and superior foam padding finish, the Biangular lateral support ensures optimum fitting to address asymmetric body shapes, and provides excellent pressure distribution through a wider surface area to optimise comfort.

Provides the correct support structure with patented mechanically rotational system.

For a firm chest support without compromising comfort!

The Spex Chest Strap is the perfect solution for users who need firm support around their chest, whilst still providing a high level of comfort.

With it’s soft padded neoprene support surface, it offers the perfect amount of stretch to allow the user to move within the support and remain functional.

The Spex Retractor Harness is an anterior harness option featuring excellent adjustment, superior support, and a comfortable pad design. Comprising of two individual “straps” this harness system is used to encourage good retraction of the user’s shoulders.

With a curved pad construction and unique shape, it is designed to follow natural contours of the body making this a very comfortable option and provides superior support for most wheelchair users. It’s support pad shape also means that it has clearance for stomach feeding tubes and other supports.

The Retractor Harness’s soft padded neoprene support surface, provides superior comfort for the user. The high-quality neoprene material offers the perfect amount of stretch to allow the user to move within the support and remain functional.

The Spex Centrepoint Harness is a very popular anterior harness option for both male and female wheelchair users featuring excellent adjustment, superior support, and a comfortable pad design. With a curved pad construction and unique shape, it is designed to follow natural contours of the body making this a very comfortable option and provides superior support for most wheelchair users. It’s support pad shape also means that it has clearance for stomach feeding tubes and other supports. The Centrepoint’s soft padded neoprene support surface, provides superior comfort for the user. The high-quality neoprene material offers the perfect amount of stretch to allow the user to move within the support and remain functional. It’s unique sternal section design ensures that when the harness is tightened, the straps stay pressed together around the user’s sternum to maintain optimum anterior support. The Centrepoint features a centre swivel buckle that is positioned low on the user’s trunk for increased safety. It is also a suitable option for user’s with limited hand function, as it can be independently operated by the user in a simple press and release action. As well as the easy-release mechanism that allows for easy transfers in and out of the wheelchair, these high-grade buckles maintain superior support around the user.
