More Information

The Visco Back is a popular backrest attachment that is designed to help redistribute a patient's weight so that they experience a more comfortable ride. When attached to the wheelchair, the durable frame and soft padding help keep the patient upright and in an optimal posture for getting from one location to another or performing daily tasks. It offers relief to most of the back, reducing strain on the lower, middle, and upper regions. Wings on the sides help keep the patient from moving around and provide additional protection near the rib cage and obliques.

We are currently offering this backrest in several sizes with compatible hardware sets. The 2-point hardware package fits most sizes we carry, ranging from 16 to 24 in. If you are purchasing a 24-in. backrest, the 4-point option offers a secure connection, which is compatible with 5 wheelchair cane diameters. The hardware is lightweight and easy to control, allowing the caretaker to adjust the patient effortlessly. A popular feature of Compass Hardware is that it allows the caretaker to move the patient while they are seated. This not only saves time but can help prevent injuries from worsening by adjusting the patient as quickly as possible. If removed for transport, the Visco Back is lightweight and features a handle on the top, making it easy to carry from one place to the next.

Order the set with your choice of a Comfort-Tek or Stech-Air cover, which are each compatible with various sizes.
