Spex SuperHigh Contour Cushion

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.

Features:

Rear lower step: 5 cm contouring. Front step: 10 cm contouring.
Breathable 3D mesh fabric to reduce moisture and temperature

Key Functional Benefits:

Position for windswept or hip/femur alignment variances
Deep pelvic immersion
Maintain pelvic stability
Abduction and adduction control of the thighs and knees
More clearance for hip positioning belts
Pressure reduction on lateral side of the pelvis

Designed for the user who has moderate to severe positioning requirements.

Excellent choice for individuals who:

Require deep pelvic and hip immersion
Require external sensory feedback to assist in stabilising posture
Have muscle tone patterns that require sufficient thigh lateral control. Thigh support is higher for alignment - refer measurement 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 stabilization
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
