NXT Xtend Low Back Support
The Xtend Low Back Support is one of the most highly adjustable back supports available. Precise height adjustments allow for small incremental changes, or for a change in the users, condition which requires modification to the back height placement or contour support.
The NXT Xtend Low and Xtend Low Deep Height Adjustable Thoracic Back Supports have been designed designed with with a lower than the standard back, with incremental height adjustments allowing for precise targeted support of the thoracic region. The built-in height adjustment allows back height, and lateral contour height to be set exactly where support is needed and is adjusted quickly and easily with the user seated in the wheelchair.
The Xtend Deep offers adjustable lateral contour depth of 5.5 to 7″ (14 to 17.8cm) for optimal mid-line support and positioning.

Pelvic positioning cut-out
The pelvic positioning cut out provides a space for the buttocks to protrude beyond the back for a better, more natural seated position.
smartx3D cover
Unlike two-dimensional fabrics, smartx3D uses a three-layer technology that includes two separate fabrics joined by a monofilament yarn that creates a breathable channel between the two fabrics. It is this channel that gives smartx3D its 3D structure and creating a “micro-climate” between layers. Heat and vapour move easily through the highly permeable fabric layer. smartx3D naturally offers a four-way stretch which provides enhanced immersion, aiding in pressure redistribution. Soft, breathable, resistant to pilling and with moisture-wicking properties, smartx3D offers the ultimate in comfort.
smartGEL
The combination of NXT’s smartx3D fabric and smartGEL foam provides the ultimate in comfort and support. NXT’s smartGEL foam offers a higher IFD (Indent Force Deflection and Density), yet it is incredibly soft, highly resilient, and long-lasting. smartGEL is a Visco Elastic foam that is infused with gel. The gel is incorporated into the foam mixture at the molecular level, which allows for 100% homogeneous cooling with no breakdown of embedded gel beads. This reduces surface temperature, drawing heat away from the skin while providing superior comfort and softness.
