A biangular back support with two adjustable sections to accommodate gluteal shelf and excess adipose tissue, for bariatric wheelchair users up to 300kg. The XLella² provides a higher degree of trunk support by offloading the posterior side of the pelvis to accommodate a gluteal shelf. Its lower section has a total of 85⁰ of adjustment, with 55⁰ posterior and 30⁰ anterior. This maximises pressure distribution and relief, to assure adequate postural support, and ultimately provide comfort. The bariatric population presents specific seating challenges. Positioning the pelvis in neutral may not be possible because excessive soft tissue limits the ability to control the position of the pelvis and spine, therefore, it is essential to provide adequate pressure distribution and relief, heat and moisture control, and ultimately, comfort. The excessive adipose tissue in the gluteal region (gluteal shelf) can also prevent bariatric users from sitting with adequate spinal support, which can contribute to back pain. Offering solutions to accommodate the unique posterior shape created by this redundant tissue is paramount. XLella bariatric range consists of back supports and cushions, which span from 22” to 28” width, with options for custom items up to 32”. The XLella back supports provide an off-the-shelf solution, with integrated adjustability and adaptability for potential changing needs. These are available in three different styles to meet the individual requirements and body shapes of the user, XLella Vigour, XLella Classic, and XLella². All models are transport certified and have a weight capacity of up to 300kg.

A biangular back support with two adjustable sections to accommodate a gluteal shelf and excess adipose tissue, for bariatric wheelchair users up to 300kg. The XLella2 provides a higher degree of trunk support by offloading the posterior side of the pelvis to accommodate a gluteal shelf. Its lower section has a total of 85 degrees of adjustment — 55 degrees posterior and 30 degrees anterior — maximising pressure distribution and relief. The adaptive Profile Curvature System contours to the shape of the individual, with trunk profile matched using Adapta-Points and tightened to secure; adjustments are made through each shell section, offering flexibility as positioning needs change. Dual-layer outer cover technology reduces shear forces to combat chafing and pressure sores, with air-mesh side panels and a moisture-wicking front surface limiting heat and moisture build-up; covers are removable and refittable after laundering. Additional positioning can be achieved with wedge accessories and tessellated shapes, inserted through zippers on the side of the padding. Overall thickness 60mm including cover; weight 3.9kg without hardware on a 22 inch back. Widths 22 to 28 inch, with custom options up to 32 inch. Transport certified.
