Spex Constructa Cushion - Shape
Every wheelchair user is different, with their own individual needs and this 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.
The simplified version of this innovative modular cushion features a flat base with positioning blocks and contouring pads designed to deliver refined support which can be adjusted for the individual user.
Thigh supports and ischial well can be adjusted to accommodate rotation, growth (with seat depth and width adjustments) and to offload high-risk pressure areas. The ischial insert and overlay also help to distribute and reduce peak pressure points.
Code: 1102-WWDD-1XXX
Size: From 14″ – 20″ Width
Contour: Comes in Standard (SC), High (HC) and Superhigh (SS)
The Constructa range of cushions was designed to accommodate and compensate for a wide range of symmetric and asymmetric postures.
Users who will benefit the most from this highly adaptable system include…
- Those who need to balance, stabilise, and maintain positioning of the legs and pelvis.
- Those who need pressure relief under bony prominences.
- Those who may need changes in position due to growth or surgery.
- Individuals leg length discrepancies, wind-swept, pelvic obliquity, pelvic rotation, posterior/anterior pelvic tilt.
- Individuals with a moderate risk of pressure injuries/decubitis pressure sores.
- Individuals with adduction and abduction of the legs.
