Constructa Flex Cushion

Because Every Body is Different

Every wheelchair user is different, with their own individual needs and this own unique set of challenges.

A solid foundation is the base for a stable posture, requiring a cushion to support the user’s pelvis for their unique physical requirements. Which is exactly what the Constructa cushion does.

Our Most Anatomically Adaptable Cushion

The latest research shows that asymmetric limited hip flexion is closely linked to the development of other conditions, including pelvic obliquity, trunk asymmetry, scoliosis and windswept hip distortion.

A wheelchair cushion that can accommodate asymmetrical hip angles is able to maintain or improve posture over time, instead of contributing to the development of other postural conditions.

The Constructa system is a range of modular cushions which can adapt to accommodate complex postural needs for users of all ages. From simple seating requirements to the most challenging demands, the result is better seating which minimises pressure while maximising comfort.

Constructa Cushion

Available in 14″ – 20″ Widths

An array of improved positioning features (including adjustable blocks for growth or asymmetry as well as adjustable contours for thigh and pelvic control) dramatically enhance the adjustment range.

A structured ischial well distributes and offloads pressure, adding to the comfort and overall experience for the user. This ability to provide complex custom solutions with off-the-shelf products means clinicians can quickly provide relief for users with a wide range of physical challenges, including…

  • Flexion limitations

  • Pelvic obliquities

  • Windsweeping

  • Abduction

  • Leg length discrepancies

A refined fit

Constructa cushions match the body's contours, thanks to adjustments aligned with our anatomy.

Performance under pressure

The entire cushion was designed to manage pressure. The invertible positioning blocks provide the foundation for a supportive yet immersive cushion, while the ischial well blends without any firm edges for ultimate comfort. The Thigh and Trochanter Blocks have a dual-layer construction using medium and firm foams. These blocks can be inverted with the firm grey foam at the top to reduce the immersion in a cushion zone, changing the overall pressure distribution of the cushion.

Sleeker appearance

Stylish covers fit the cushion without limiting adjustment, while also making cleaning and maintenance easy.

A quicker solution

The adaptable nature of the Constructa Cushion means users who need custom solutions get them sooner, with just a single appointment required to find the perfect fit for many users.

Specific foam construction differs from the regular Spex Cushion models, easily visible by the change in colour and thickness.
