Detailed Description
Icon™ Deep Back is an
ideal lightweight solution for users needing Deeper trunk support and
the full adjustment capability of a larger style of back. The upper
body is unimpeded, which allows full range motion of the upper body and
trunk, and improves Activities of Daily Living. The shell curves around
the sides of the body for mild lateral support, while the accompanying
enhanced rollover cushion protects the user and provides maximum
comfort.
Built with the user, caregiver, clinician and technician in mind,
the Icon™ Mid Back System provides the best solution for those who
demand fast installation, adjustment versatility, and simple operation.
The Icon™ Mid Back attaches to the wheelchair using innovative
adjustable hardware, and includes a VARILITE® air-foam floatation cushion for superior comfort.
Operating the system is as easy as opening the latches and sliding
the back support out of the hardware. Latches stay in an open position
until the back is removed, making it simple to remove the support with
one hand or limited dexterity. The hardware guides the back support
into position with minimal effort and locks it securely into place. Red
safety markings alert the user that a latch is open and not in the
locked position.
Icon™ Hardware and Shell
The Icon™ Back System installs on a wheelchair quickly and easily.
Only two parts need to be attached to the wheelchair – all other
hardware components are pre-installed. All adjustment screws are the
same. Only a single tool is needed. Icon™ hardware is symmetrical and
provides a wide range of seat depth adjustment, without any need for
special, extra length parts. Posterior seat depth can be increased or
anterior depth decreased by reversing the hardware.
Adjusting Angle, Depth, Width and Height of Icon™ Back System
hardware is simple and easy. All adjustment screws are accessible from
the rear of the back support or from the outside of the Cane Brackets.
Adjustments can be made while the user is in the wheelchair.
Once adjusted, Icon hardware stays in place. Cane Brackets clamp
securely and will not slip. The innovative Adjuster Plate mechanism for
recline adjustment is positive locking to prevent the back support from
moving during Activities of Daily Living or other times when heavy
loads are placed on it.
Operating the system is as easy as opening the latches and sliding
the back support out of the hardware. Latches stay in an open position
until the back is removed, making it simple to remove the support with
one hand or limited dexterity. The hardware guides the back support
into position with minimal effort and locks it securely into place. Red
safety markings alert the user that a latch is open and not in the
locked position.
Rollover Cushion
The Icon™ Back System features an innovative rollover cushion to
protect the user from contact with the edge of the shell during
extension or weight shifting activities. The cushion is secured inside
the cover so it stays in place. The wheelchair user can perform
Activities of Daily Living with confidence and in comfort. Icon™ Mid
Back includes an enhanced rollover cushion. Special padding in the
cover provides extra protection. The Icon™ Back System incorporates a VARILITE®
air-foam floatation cushion. Sculpted foam fits the shell contour
without bunching. Multi-stiffness foam is thickest along the vertebral
column. Soft foam protects the sensitive areas of the spine while
firmer foam supports the sides of the trunk. A two-way air valve allows
air in and out of the cushion for a custom fit and adjustable comfort.
Breathable Fabric
Spacer knit fabric on the outside of the cover increases air-flow
between the user and the back support. Reticulated foam sewn under the
spacer knit fabric provides additional air exchange plus pressure
distribution The Icon™ Back System cover meets ISO 7176-16 ignition
resistance standard for upholstered wheelchair components. The cover is
machine washable.
Thoracic Supports and Accessories
VARILITE® PAL™ Swing-Away Thoracic supports are designed to
complement the Icon™ Mid Back. PAL™ (Positive Action Lateral) supports
allow hinge angle, pad rotation, and horizontal pad adjustments for a
precise fit. All PAL™ swing-away lateral supports include a neoprene
protective cover that attaches easily to the PAL™ push button hinge.
Fixed lateral supports are available for situations when a swing-away
lateral is not required. Fixed lateral supports consist of shell
bracket, pad bracket and pad.
Users who need extra support for correct positioning can utilize
the PSIS Block or Supplemental Lateral Supports attached to the shell
of their Icon™ Back System. These supports can be positioned within the
shell using hook and loop attachment. The PSIS Block and Supplemental
Lateral Supports can be added as an accessory to any Icon™ Back System.
The PSIS (posterior superior iliac spine) Block provides support to the
sacrum at the PSIS level, promoting anterior pelvic tilt and spinal
extension. The Supplemental Lateral Pads help users who lean to one
side maintain an upright position.
Users needing extra coverage between the back support and
wheelchair seat can purchase a modesty kit that attaches to the shell
of the back system and the seat of the wheelchair. Modesty kits provide
extra coverage for the user, while appearing integrated into the back
support.
