    Product Features

    Using the proven Spex strategic positioning base technology, the SuperHigh contour cushion creates an optimum pelvic foundation for the user that requires extra pelvic and hip immersion.

    It’s properties provide hip/leg envelopment as well as an ideal pressure redistribution all over the seat cushion. The medial thigh support combined with lateral thigh supports maximizes the user stability, providing greater balance and support on upper body.

    Developed in accordance with listening to feedback from medical professionals and clients alike, the SuperHigh cushion features ‘stepped’ thigh contouring, bringing added benefits to users who require deep envelopment positioning. This lower profile contouring to the rear of the cushion, allows for hip positioning belts, posture variances, and in some cases to allow for the back support to be positioned over the cushion.

    The SuperHigh contour cushion’s body-hugging nature delivers comfort and daily sitting relief; while the 3D breathable mesh fabric helps in reducing moisture and temperature.

    Clinical Benefits:

    The SuperHigh contour cushion is an excellent choice for individuals who:

    • Require extra pelvic and hip immersion
    • Have muscle tone patterns that require sufficient thigh lateral control. Thigh support is higher for alignment – refer specifications table
    • If extremity support can’t be maintained through the use of external thigh laterals and/or if installing thigh laterals can’t be used, the SuperHigh contour cushion will provide that needed support and stabilisation
    • Have a symmetrical or asymmetrical sitting posture that requires correction or control/accommodation
    • Require pelvic comfort and pressure relief/distribution
    • Require a high degree of pelvic stability and specific contouring

    Functional Benefits:

    • Positioning base accommodates tight hamstrings/lack of hip flexion
    • No maintenance required
    • Strategic contouring pads offer complete customisations on-the-spot for a perfect fit for the client
    • Removable lateral rigidizers which add extra thigh support/alignment
    • Gel-foam ischial evenly distributes pressure under the pelvis and in combination with the dual-layer cover, reduces shear forces in sensitive areas
    • Coccyx channel for enhanced pressure relief (for sizes 16″+)
    • Dual layer cover reduces shear forces, and breathable air-mesh on sides of cushions counters moisture
    • Inner incontinence cover included
    • Customizable to the individual’s specific requirements such as leg length discrepancies
    • Not compatible with thigh supports or medial thigh supports

    The Spex cushion can be adapted on-the-spot to suit individual pelvic needs including: Pelvic obliquity, Tight hamstrings, Posterior pelvic tilt, Anterior pelvic tilt, Limited hip flexion (one side or both), Extensor thrust, Pelvic rotation, and much more!
