Spex Extended Lateral Pad Headrest

One-piece lateral head support solution for complex head positioning needs.

Designed to meet complex head positioning needs specifically for those with limited head control. It comprises a posterior head pad with extended support along the suboccipital area to promote head positioning while the head rotates. The lateral section extends forwards to support clients with low tone and keep the head contained within the head support. A clever ear cut-out detail stays comfortable when resting at different positions on the pad. A soft memory foam overlay allows for pressure reduction even for clients with high tone patterns.

Available in two sizes: Paediatric and Adult

FEATURES:

• In-Built Occipital Shaping to Promote Head Realignment - Occipital shaping of the foam ensures posterior pad control, keeping the users head is in a supported position. Following the natural contours of the users’ head for enhanced comfort.
• Superior Lateral Support - An elongated support alongthe suboccipital area cradles the head and promotes a midline position. One-piece posterior head pad keeps the head contained and supported when moving during visual attention shifts, whilst not obstructing the user’s vision. With longer lateral extensions this is a perfect solution for users with limited head control.
• Ear Cut-outs for a Comfortable Fit - Accommodating ear cut-out detail allows for greater levels of comfort on the ears, even for users who rotate their head along the pad.

• Soft Memory Foam Overlay - The soft memory foam overlay, together with a clever ‘ear cut-out’ detail, allow for pressure reduction even for clients with high tone patterns.
• Paediatric Size Tailored for Children - The paediatric pad shape is specifically designed and sculpted to provide the optimal support for infants in their early years to build and strengthen a postural foundation for them to grow on as they get older. The unique lateral shaping accommodates and fosters head control development.
