    Product Features

    A Back Support System Designed for the individual Who:

    • Requires a comfortable back support to reduce torso pain
    • Requires spinal alignment and support
    • Has skin breakdown/pressure care needs
    • Has bony or protruding skeletal prominences
    • Have changing postural needs
    • Pertains a maladaptive or asymmetric posture

    Functional Benefits:

    • Instant Contouring of the Back Support Surface – Using the renowned contouring cube system within the Spex Classic back support, the back support surface can be easily configured and contoured in real-time!  If the user’s postural needs change, it can simply be reconfigured at any time.
    • Non-slip Contours Don’t Move Out of Adjustment – Special cover design allows the contouring cube system to be removed through the top of the back support.
    • Dual-layer Outer Cover Technology – dual-layer technology in the back support outer cover reduces shear forces, combating the likelihood of pressure sores.  With air-mesh side panels, moisture build-up and the impact sof temperature are countered.
    • Unique Shell Design – Slots and holes in the back support shell allows for better ventilation and temperature control for the user.  It also allows for an easier installation of head supports, lateral supports and harnesses.

    And even more:

    • Comfortable pressure reducing foam surface layer to absorb bony prominences.
    • Created as the solution-solver for asymmetrical back postures.
    • Sustainable choice for issuing to other users.
    • Modular componentry means you can “mix and match” with different lateral pad options and positioning supports.

    Contouring the Spex Back Support Surface

    A special feature of the Spex back support is the adjustable contouring-cell cube system which incorporates into the upholstery unit of the backrest. Easy configurations are performed for asymmetrical trunk postures without the need for complicated custom/bespoke seating.

    The cover un-zips from the top of the back support and remains fixed to the shell whilst you remove the inner upholstery unit. Changes to the contouring are made
    on-the-spot for instant results.

    Further postural enhancements to the degree and depth of contouring are achieved with the positioning kit of support wedges (included with every Spex back support).

    Customisation & Sizing:

    Customisation Options: 

    • Custom fabric choice on cover: Spextex (wipe-down fabric), Spextex (knitted side, fabric finish), or Aire mesh spacer fabric
