Price is not the only thing that matters when it comes to buying your new Varilite Icon Back - Tall, great customer service is priceless!
Icon™ Tall Back supports the back to the top of the shoulders, including the scapula, which is ideal for users with decreased trunk control. The curved shell provides moderate back support. Lateral supports can be easily mounted using existing vertical shell slots. Headrests can be installed onto the aluminum shell for more positioning options.
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.
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.
The Icon™ Back System incorporates a VARILITE® air-foam floatation cushion, and features an innovative rollover cushion to protect the user from contact with the edge of the shell during extension or weight shifting activities. 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.
