Spex Constructa Cushion - Flex

Every wheelchair user is different, with their own individual needs and their own unique set of challenges.

A solid foundation is the base for a stable posture, requiring a cushion to support the user’s pelvis for their unique physical requirements. Which is exactly what the Constructa cushion does.

An array of improved positioning features (including adjustable blocks for growth or asymmetry as well as adjustable contours for thigh and pelvic control) dramatically enhance the adjustment range.

A structured ischial well distributes and offloads pressure, adding to the comfort and overall experience for the user. This ability to provide complex custom solutions with off-the-shelf products means clinicians can quickly provide relief for users with a wide range of physical challenges, including…
