SUMED Backpack

A unique opportunity to provide a comfortable back support without modification to the wheelchair. If used with PrimeNest/ErgoNest can enhance pressure relief and distribution.

A sagging canvas back on a wheelchair may well contribute to poor posture, a decrease in overall function, reduced mobility, sacral sitting and development of kyphosis.

The Backpack, by eliminating this 'sling' effect, is designed to assist in minimising these potential problems while also helping to reduce tiredness and relieve back pain.
