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. The family of head support shapes have been geometrically and biomechanically designed to give greater support and stability for head positioning for wheelchair users. Along with the versatile Spex Stylo hardware, it’s possible to accommodate an extensive range of head positioning requirements.

Available in two sizes the Contour 250 and Contour 350.

The benefits of the Contour Head Support include:

• Enhanced occipital shaping to promote head alignment. Occipital shaping of the foam ensures posterior pad control, keeping the user’s head in a supported position. The Contour Head Support also features a V-shaped cut out to provide relief directly behind the neck, in order to remove pressure from the neck muscles and tendons. 
• A clever dual layer fabric surface to aid in shear reduction and decreasing friction, in addition to being gentle on hair. The cover is removable for washing and hygiene purposes.
• Optimal lateral position for unimpaired vision. The Contour Head Support features a lower lateral support position, allowing for unobstructed user vision. The cradle design with a natural anatomic support surface helps realign the head within the pad and ensures an optimal midline position. 
• Lateral position adjustment, where minor adjustments of the lateral positions can be achieved by applying force to mould the shape of the pad. The sides can be squeezed tighter to wrap closer around the head or stretched open wider if required.
