Spex SuperShape Back Support

Spex SuperShape Back Support

The wheelchair back support with extreme contouring capabilities! SuperShape provides an extra supportive wheelchair back solution using 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 & Functional Benefits

Designed for the individual who:

  • Has complex postural needs such as kyphosis, scoliosis, hyperlordosis, etc

  • 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

The contouring of the cushioning is essential to apply intimate surface contact to areas of the body that 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. The SuperShape can adapt to changing needs and provide enough stability for complex and asymmetric postures

Create shapes, contours and comfort.

  • SuperShape back support can be fitted to virtually any wheelchair chassis

  • Expansion fabric cover that allows all kinds of contouring without compromising skin protection

  • Comfortable pressure-reducing foam surface layer to absorb bony prominences

  • The contouring system comprises a triple-layer cell system of cubes whereby padding can be increased or decreased to provide different shapes and configurations to suit any individual for a perfect fit and shape

  • Deep contour solution which offers exceptional contact to contoured areas of the body

  • Customisation to contouring is performed on the spot, as many times as you want

  • Created as the solution for asymmetrical back postures

  • Modular componentry means you can “mix and match” with different lateral pad options and positioning supports

  • Wide range of adjustment in angle, depth, and height for growth and changing needs

  • Breathable, washable cover

  • Sizes available from 10” to 20” and in different heights for each width

  • Choose from a large range of lateral supports and head supports

A triple-layered cube contouring cell system provides configurations for a perfect fit and shape that is unique to the client. The padded moulding structure is comprised of a three-layered Spex cube contouring substrate.
