BACK SUPPORT INFORMATION
All fabrics used in back support covers are latex-free.
COMFORT-TEK™ fabric cover is uid-resistant, easily cleaned at any time and soft to the touch. Comfort-Tek™ fabric has stretch which helps
alleviate pressure and conforms to both the support pad and user.
STRETCH-AIR™ fabric is designed to be airy and breathable with superior stretch. Stretch-Air™ provides heat dissipation for comfort while the
multi-directional stretch contributes to pressure relief and allows the user to gain the full benets of the adjustable back support features.
Back support cushions use varying foam materials in different levels of thicknesses, elasticity and rmness. The standard foam combinations used
allow for optimal comfort, immersion, conforming to the user and pressure redistribution as well as ensure the adjustable support features function
properly.
