More Details

* The vertical curve helps the spine to maintain the correct "S" shape (lumbar lordosis). The horizontal curve gives firm, gentle support against "rolling" of the body left or right
* Back-Eze may be used whether sitting or lying. For best results it should be used against a fairly flat, firm surface. It should always be placed in the hollow of the back with the thin end towards the shoulders
* The cushion is made from high resilience polyurethane, which maintains its correct shape at all times
* The cover is a stretch fabric of a synthetic material, which is easy to sponge and keep clean
* An optional harness strap attaches the cushion to a chair back (vertically or horizontally)
* The Standard (Mark I) model suits most people and is recommended for use in a car. The Mark II is for a larger user and also suits people with a smaller curve is their lower back

Standards

Standards
Some assistive technology needs to meet Australian or other standards. Standards may relate to materials, manufacturing and installation. Products that meet Australian or international standards will have written certification. To find out if a product meets Australian Standards ask the supplier to show you the certificate.

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
