Wheelchair Back Support with Extreme Contouring capabilities

Supershape® provides an extra supportive wheelchair back solution, with Shape Technology for contouring to provide postural integrity, pressure relief and comfort. The SuperShape® is a seating system that successfully meets individual trunk shapes of users with complex postural needs, and can be fitted and changed anywhere and at any time.

CLINICAL:

• Has complex postural needs
• Has significant spinal or trunk asymmetries
• Has protruding skeletal prominences
• Risks skin breakdown and has pressure care requirements
• Requires greater immersion into back support for stability and comfort
• Requires torso pain reduction

Contouring of the cushioning is essential to apply intimate surface contact to areas of the body which are contoured. The padded moulding structure is comprised of a three-layered Spex cube contouring substrate. The best result is achieved by creating areas of greater or lesser support with the adjustment of the multiple layered padded pocket cells. We have developed 2 different densities of Spex cube cells in order to provide stability and comfort where it is needed.

Create shapes, contours and comfort. 

FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS:

• Expansion fabric cover that allows all kind of contouring without compromising skin protection
• Comfortable pressure reducing foam surface layer to absorb bony prominences
• Triple-layered cube contouring cell system provides configurations for a perfect fit and shape for the client
• Customisation to contouring are performed on-the-spot, as many times as you want.
• Created as the solution-solver for asymmetrical back postures
