Sling seat wheelchairs and older lounge chairs give the back nothing to sit against, and a client who spends the day in one ends up rounded through the spine with the pelvis rolled back. This contoured back support puts a shaped surface behind the trunk so the low back has somewhere to rest.
A plastic insert behind medium density polyurethane foam keeps the contour under load, so it does not flatten out over a long day the way an unsupported foam pad would. The shape is set, which makes it quick to issue without a seating clinic appointment.
The cover is fabric with a soft water resistant vinyl, so it handles spills and wipes down between users. It is DVA approved.
