The TESS BACK is a rigid back support system with over 30 different back and side support 
combinations. These can be adjusted to support a wide variety of basic to intermediate 
wheelchair users who require firm pelvis, posterior and trunk side support. It can be fitted 
onto a wide range of different wheelchairs, both manual and motorised. 

The TESS BACK can be adjusted in angle by 15° and in width by up to 50mm to ensure 
proper fit for different users. 

We recommend using the TESS BACK in conjunction 
with an appropriate pressure care cushion 
to promote healthy development of the 
pelvis and spine in children and 
to help prevent pelvis and spinal 
deviations in adults.

Please enquire about our 

Seat Cushions for more details.
