Do you want a cushion that adapts to your complex sitting needs effortlessly? The Spex Flex cushion is designed to support wheelchair users with limited hip flexion, providing a truly adaptable and comfortable solution.
Ideal for individuals with cerebral palsy at GMFCS level V, this cushion addresses the asymmetric limited hip flexion that can lead to pelvic obliquity, trunk asymmetry, scoliosis, and windswept hip distortion. The innovative positioning base accommodates up to 20° of hip flexion and can be customized on-the-spot with strategic pads and wedges for a perfect fit. The bevelled front edge caters to knee contractures, while the top foam overlays ensure even pressure distribution.
With both an outer breathable cover and an inner incontinence cover, the Spex Flex cushion is highly configurable to meet individual needs, offering unparalleled comfort and support for complex postural requirements.
