Spex SuperShape Back Support

Features

Triple-layered cube contouring cell system

Contouring of the cushioning is essential to apply intimate surface contact to areas of the body which are contoured. A triple-layered cube contouring cell system provides configurations for a perfect fit and shape that is unique to the client. The padded moulding structure is comprised of a three-layered Spex cube contouring substrate. The best result is achieved by creating areas of greater or lesser support with the adjustment of the multiple-layered padded pocket cells.

Expansion fabric cover for maximum contouring

Innovative expansion fabric on the contact surface of the back support, allows for varying levels of back support contouring without compromising on skin protection.

Two available pad densities for optimum support

Two densities of Spex contouring pads to insert into the triple-layered cube contouring cell system, are included with every back support to ensure correct personal fitting, stability, and comfort exactly where it is needed.

• Higher density, firmer closed-cell foam to create a contoured foundation.
• Lower density, immersive foam to provide comfort and a more rounded contoured surface.
