The Ultra head positioning system offers unparalleled customisation and versatility, allowing therapists and users to create a bespoke solution that addresses specific head support and positioning requirements.

Description

The Ultra is an all-encompassing head positioning system with adjustment capabilities and a portfolio of options and accessories to meet the needs of virtually any individual.  

The Ultra series has even greater adjustment options due to the separation of the occipital and the sub-occipital pads, meaning that each can be adjusted separately.

What also makes the Ultra highly customisable is its ability to be configured with any other head support system within the Stealth range. For example the Ultra can be mounted with the i2i to provide occipital support with the Ultra occipital pad, and head and neck support with the i2i standard or low profile head pad.

For a bespoke head support system, catering to your client’s specific needs, Ultra is your solution.

How it works

The occipital pad cradles the head and is primarily a resting spot for the head. It also acts as a posterior boundary, minimising hyper extension from abnormal reflexes or tones. The occipital pad proves to be useful tilt and recline features. Positioned at the base of the skull, and used in conjunction with an occipital pad, the sub-occipital pad provides additional lateral and posterior support for individuals that require mild to moderate assistance in maintaining midline positioning. The sub-occipital is bendable so it can be contoured specifically for each individual, which alleviates the tendency to suspend the head or create excessive pressure on the neck.

Benefits

Highly adjustable

The modular design of the Ultra allows the Occipital and the Sub Occipital pads to be moved independently of each other, for the most precise fit possible.

Incredibly comfortable

Because the Ultra Head Support cradles both the occipital (upper) and sub occipital (lower) parts of the head, it is incredibly comfortable and supportive, especially for users with poor neck strength.

Adaptable to your needs

With a variety of different pad sizes and shapes for the occipital and sub-occipital pads, there is a combination of pads available to suit the needs of almost any individual.
