Spex Ischial Contour Universal Positioning Base
Spex Ischial Contour Universal Positioning Base
Enhanced positioning outcomes underneath air and gel cushions
Traditionally, it has been difficult to meet clinical requirements for wheelchair users with pelvic and postural requirements when seated on pressure care cushions.
The Universal Positioning Base assists with these challenges by insertion under the air/gel cushion to configure the base system as per the user’s clinical assessment, to achieve a functional outcome for the user whilst not compromising with pressure care properties.
The Spacer Universal Positioning Base comes with both an ischial contour base and a pack of 8 contouring obliquity pads. This is ideal for clients who require a pre-ischial ledge that supports the pelvis/thighs and helps prevents the user from shifting forward on the wheelchair cushion. This is especially helpful for user’s with posterior pelvic tilt.

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.
