More Details

The System consists of a washer/dryer safe base pad which is covered in loop Velcro and several positioning pieces. The base pad folds up and has a carry handle. All of the positioning pieces fit into the carry bag.

POSTURAL SUPPORTS
The standard positioning pieces are: 1 trunk wedge, 1 sitting support, 1 head support, 2 positioning straps, 4 flexible rolls in two sizes and the therapy booklet.

Head Support
Contoured to cradle the head, this support can be used on its own, or with its removable lateral pieces.

Lateral Supports
While particularly useful in back lying or side lying, the lateral supports can also be used with other components for extra positioning possibilities.

Trunk Wedge
Primarily designed for use in tummy lying to provide trunk support, this wedge can also be used below the head in back lying to encourage chin tuck, or below the bottom in floor sitting (along with the sitting support) to give a slight forward or rearward tilt, depending on the position desired.

Sitting Support
This profiled cushion is designed to give the child lower back support, while allowing the hands to be free for activity and function. When used in conjunction with the other elements additional front, rear or side support can be increased.

Fabric
The fabric used on the positional supports is a high grade textile which is almost 100 times more resistant to wear than standard vinyls.The fabric has permanent anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties which greatly minimise the risk of cross infection. Bacteria such as MRSA cannot grow on the fabric. The soft touch fabric is easily cleaned using alcohol wipes so machine washing is not required.
