Spex Flex Cushion
Creating possibilities for complex sitting postures!
The Spex Flex cushion implements a truly adaptable and easy approach for even the hardest-to-solve cushion requirements for users with complex postures. As its name describes, the Flex has been designed to fulfil the postural requirements of wheelchair users who present with limited hip flexion.
Every Flex comes with an easily configurable strategic positioning base. The innovative and clinical benefits of the pads and wedges allows the prescribing clinician to achieve a result on-the-spot whilst having the peace of mind that its able to change for future unseen posture changes.
Flex has a unique cover design which can change its shape. This ensures that once all the adaptations are done to the inner foam unit, the incontinence and outer covers are manipulated for a comfortable fit.
