Seating & Positioning

Fine-tune positioning. Boost comfort. Build better support.

The Spex Tessellated Shape System is a unique positioning kit which enables you to create contouring for improved seating and positioning.

This system can be added to any back support from the Spex range to maximise trunk stability, enhance positioning and distribute pressure across the back contact surface.

The different foam densities can be tailored to the user’s support and positioning requirements using various layering techniques.

Three TSS kits are available:

• Tessellated Shape System
• TSS Lite
• TSS Elements

Suited for users requiring full height backrest support for maximum trunk and shoulder support, this rigid and exceptionally adjustable backrest easily installs to any wheelchair.

Ventilated spacer-fabric and shell system increases air-flow through the backrest offering daily comfort. Comes with an additional positioning kit which includes lateral stability wedges and sacral block for individual settings. Powerful 4 attachment brackets affix onto the wheelchair backrest canes delivering ultimate strength and zero wobble. Modular componentry means you can select from our entire seating range of laterals, headrests, harnesses etc.

The back support is an integral wheelchair component for appropriate seating position and trunk support. It plays an important role in increasing comfort and function for wheelchair users.

Sitting over extended periods of time can cause discomfort and accelerate the development of spinal deformities. Manual wheelchairs are usually supplied with sling-style back supports which do not provide appropriate postural support, nor adequate pressure relief, for some full-time wheelchair users. Rigid back supports are recommended for improved postural support and comfort.

Spex Seating aimed to design the Zygo back supports with suitable shapes and sizes for most active users, without any major adjustments or customisations.
