Introducing the Spex Spacer Universal Positioning Base - enhancing positioning outcomes for wheelchair users under air and gel cushions. This base allows tailored positioning without compromising pressure care, meeting clinical requirements for comfort and functionality.
Enhanced positioning outcomes underneath air and gel cushions
Traditionally, it has been difficult to meet clinical requirements for wheelchair users with pelvic and postural requirements when seated on pressure care cushions.
The Universal Positioning Base assists with these challenges by insertion under the air/gel cushion to configure the base system as per the user's clinical assessment, to achieve a functional outcome for the user whilst not compromising with pressure care properties.
The Spacer Universal Positioning Base comes with both a 10mm thick spacer base, a 20mm thick spacer base, and a pack of 8 contouring obliquity pads. This is ideal for creating moderate contours and adjustments on the flat spacer surface, such as accommodating for a pelvic obliquity. The spacer blocks are also ideal to achieve greater lower leg length by raising the user's cushion up to 30mm.
