Theramed Total Spine Support Backrest
Full‑length spinal support for pressure relief
The Theramed Total Spine Support Backrest provides full‑length contoured support from the lumbar to the upper thoracic region, helping users maintain optimal posture during prolonged sitting. It is designed for individuals with spinal instability, chronic back pain, or those requiring additional postural support such as post‑surgical patients, elderly, or people with neurological conditions. The side flanks give lateral stability, reducing side‑to‑side movement and distributing pressure more evenly across the back. Clinicians can prescribe this backrest to improve comfort, reduce skin‑breakdown risk, and support functional independence for wheelchair users, car seat occupants, and office workers.
The backrest’s contoured profile follows the natural curvature of the spine, encouraging an upright sitting posture and reducing lumbar flexion. This alignment helps mitigate back pain and fatigue for users who sit for extended periods. By supporting the entire back, it lessens the load on spinal discs and surrounding musculature, improving comfort for both users and caregivers.
Integrated side flanks secure the user laterally, preventing unwanted side‑to‑side movement that can cause shear forces on the skin. This stabilisation is especially beneficial for individuals with reduced core control, such as those with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis. Reduced shear translates to lower risk of pressure injury and easier transfers for caregivers.
The backrest is built from high‑grade moulded foam (open‑cell urethane) that provides consistent support over time. It is covered with a washable Dura‑Fab polyester fabric that resists wear and moisture. This robust build ensures a long service life in clinical, home, and mobility settings.
Designed for use on chairs, wheelchairs, car seats and sofas, the backrest adapts to a range of seating environments. The two size options allow clinicians to match the product to the user’s seat dimensions for optimal fit. Its lightweight design makes it easy for users or carers to reposition as needed.
