Spex Circle Head Support
The Spex Circle Head Support is a unique minimal head support providing direct posterior support for individuals with good head control. Its shape promotes a high degree of comfort through superior occipital shaping while putting focus on the wheelchair user, not the chair. Along with the versatile Spex Stylo mounting hardware, it’s possible to accommodate an extensive range of head positioning requirements.
The benefits of the Circle Head Support include:
- Built-in occipital support ensures posterior pad control, keeping the users head in a supported position. The natural contours of the head are followed for enhanced comfort.
- A minimal and discreet pad style. The sleek style of the Circle Head Support Pad ensures that the user is the star of the show, not the seating. It’s minimal size and shape provides subtle support and optimal head position without the bulk of a standard head pad.
- Ability to adapt to changing needs. As the individual’s needs change, the Circle Head Support has mounting slots for installation of lateral head support wings.
- A zipper-less design that is tensioned with elastic for a snug fit around the pad and effortless removal for washing. The dual-layer shear reduction fabric is gentle on hair.
- Slight lateral control for unimpaired vision, enhancing perception of surroundings. This is ideal for active wheelchair users, ensuring a clear view of the surroundings. The slight cupping shape of the support surface encourages a neutral alignment of the head.
The Circle Head Support is available in two sizes: Circle 150 and Circle 250.
Spex Head Support pads are constructed from an internal aluminium shell covered by an injection moulded polyurethane foam to ensure smooth and comfortable support surface. Aluminium plates with multiple positioning holes allow for wide range of adjustment of the pad. The Head Support pads are designed to be used with the versatile Spex Stylo hardware.
