Developed specifically to target the structural limitations of standard fabric sling backrests which frequently sag over time and induce poor posture, slouching, and forward sacral sliding this high-performance medical back support reinforces the natural curvature of the spine. It resolves the common operational problem of progressive upper-body fatigue and reduces the physical workload on clinical staff who must frequently reposition slouched residents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from high-resilient, high-density molded foam, the Protekt Back features subtle lateral contours that gently center the patient's trunk, preventing dangerous leaning, lateral translation, and spinal asymmetry. The ergonomic geometry includes built-in lumbar reinforcement that offloads pressure from the sacral region and distributes upper body weight evenly across the entire dorsal surface area. Equipped with an industrial-grade fastening strap system, this institutional backrest securely anchors to existing wheelchair canes, maintaining its precise vertical position during high-shear patient transfers and intense daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAnatomical Spinal Alignment:\u003c\/b\u003e Specially contoured lumbar core mirrors the natural curve of the lower back, encouraging proper pelvic tilt and reducing the risk of sacral pressure sores.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLateral Trunk Stabilization:\u003c\/b\u003e Built-in lateral support wings guide the upper body into a centered, vertical posture, eliminating the need for rigid or uncomfortable external chest restraints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSling Backrest Deflection Correction:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates the hammocking effect of worn wheelchair upholstery, transforming standard frames into stable, rigid positioning platforms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSecure Cane Anchor Layout:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty adjustable rear strapping mechanics firmly clamp onto vertical wheelchair push canes to prevent downward slippage or rotational shifting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInfection Prevention Enclosure:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheltered in a low-shear, vapor-permeable stretch nylon face cover that is entirely fluid-resistant, simplifying compliance with facility sanitizing protocols.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUniversal Interface Sizing:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered to match industry-standard wheelchair frame dimensions, allowing rapid deployment across diverse institutional wheelchair fleets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCore Material Matrix:\u003c\/b\u003e High-resilient, compression-resistant molded polyurethane foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOuter Enclosure Fabric:\u003c\/b\u003e Low-shear, fluid-resistant, breathable stretch nylon facing with a durable non-slip backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStandard Width Availabilities:\u003c\/b\u003e 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, 22 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStandard Height Configurations:\u003c\/b\u003e 17 inches (Optimized for full thoracic and mid-scapular support)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSecurement Hardware:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty quick-release buckle strap assembly for vertical cane installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFlame Retardancy Ratings:\u003c\/b\u003e Meets strict institutional CAL 117 compliance criteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty Coverage:\u003c\/b\u003e 12-month commercial manufacturer warranty against structural defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Proactive","offers":[{"title":"16\" x 17\"","offer_id":31620147052595,"sku":"PRO-79001","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\" x 17\"","offer_id":31620147085363,"sku":"PRO-79002","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\" x 19\"","offer_id":31620147118131,"sku":"PRO-79003","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22\" x 19\"","offer_id":31620147150899,"sku":"PRO-79004","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 19\"","offer_id":31620147183667,"sku":"PRO-79005","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"26\" x 19\"","offer_id":31620147216435,"sku":"PRO-79006","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28\" x 19\"","offer_id":31620147249203,"sku":"PRO-79009","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30\" x 19\"","offer_id":31620147281971,"sku":"PRO-79010","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2304\/8155\/products\/Protekt_Back_Cushion.jpg?v=1754949833","url":"https:\/\/rescue-supply.com\/products\/proactive-medical-protekt-back-wheelchair-support-ergonomic-lumbar-alignment-and-postural-positioning-backrest","provider":"Rescue Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
