Designed for the individual who:

• Has complex postural needs such as kyphosis, scoliosis, hyperlordosis, etc
• Has significant spinal or trunk asymmetries
• Has protruding skeletal prominences
• Risks skin breakdown and has pressure care requirements
• Requires greater immersion into back support for stability and comfort
• Requires torso pain reduction

The contouring of the cushioning is essential to apply intimate surface contact to areas of the body that are contoured. 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. We have developed 2 different densities of Spex cube cells in order to provide stability and comfort where it is needed. The SuperShape can adapt to changing needs and provide enough stability for complex and asymmetric postures.

Create shapes, contours and comfort.
