A few months ago, we have made improvements to our optional adjustable tension back upholstery that fitted most of our wheelchair models. We are very excited to announce that the improved version is now available on the APEX models, carbone and aluminum, to provide enhanced comfort and adjustability, plus the storage add-on. You can now enjoy the value-added benefits of the adjustable tension back upholstery in Syntech-Suede on both models.
The improved adjustable tension back upholstery now comes with larger straps and a smaller one to provide better pressure distribution and ultimate comfort. The new straps are easy to adjust with only one hand and have a wider adjustment range.
During the process of improving the design, we asked ourselves - how can we make it even better? The answer is extra storage! The improved adjustable tension back upholstery now features a zip storage pocket to help carry personal stuff on selected wheelchair models.
Highlighted in red are the improvements just made available on the APEX models.
