We are proud to officially launch FitBack: our new line of postural wheelchair backrests.
Nature, biomechanics, and high-tech materials merge across four distinct models to offer maximum support and unparalleled freedom of movement.
After an extensive journey of research, design, and testing, we are officially presenting FitBack, our new line of postural backrests. This project was born with a clear objective: to redefine wheelchair postural support standards by offering a system that adapts to diverse user needs through a perfect synthesis of engineering, materials, and aesthetics.
Inspiration: Where Nature Meets Engineering
The core concept of FitBack stems from observing the most efficient structures found in nature. We captured these perfect geometries and fused them with our decade of experience in processing aluminium and composite materials, such as carbon fibre.
The result is a product line built upon four fundamental pillars, each inspired by natural efficiency:
Lightness: The use of innovative materials ensures the lowest possible weight (starting at just 600g for the Flexy model), allowing active users to save energy and gain autonomy.
Comfort: We have elevated the support experience with new 30mm high-density foam and covers made of fire-retardant, highly breathable fabric, designed to manage pressure points and ensure daily well-being.
Design: the unmistakable Aria style is applied to shells with essential lines that follow the trunk, enhancing stability without sacrificing iconic aesthetics.
Adaptability: A solid and precise structure capable of interfacing with most rigid-frame wheelchairs on the market thanks to versatile and adjustable mounting systems.
Four Models, One Goal: The Perfect Fit for Your Back
Every user is unique. For this reason, the FitBack line is developed in four distinct models:
FLEXY | Ultimate Lightness and Freedom: The lightest backrest in the range (approx. 600g). Featuring an innovative “4-wing” carbon fibre shell, it is designed for highly active users who require minimal support and maximum torso freedom.
AERO | Stability Meets Agility: Crafted from carbon fibre (approx. 700g), it offers the ideal balance for those seeking optimal stabilisation of the trunk and pelvis without compromising manoeuvrability.
HALO | Solid Support and Customisation: Built from epoxy-powder-coated aluminium (approx. 1000g). It is available in Active (flatter for mobility) and Deep (contoured for containment) versions, offering up to 12 size variants.
BUDDY | Supporting Child’s Growth: An aluminium pediatric backrest (approx. 900g) designed to accompany children on their journey toward independence, ensuring safety and support throughout their growth.
Advanced Mounting Systems for Precision Tuning
All FitBack models offer extremely versatile hardware, designed for secure installation and millimetre-accurate positioning.
Attachments with central clamp
Ideal for those seeking a clean, central adjustment on the wheelchair’s crossbar:
CLACE: Fixed clamp system for tube diameters of 19, 22, and 25 mm.
CLAR1: An advanced quick-release system that allows for rapid removal of the backrest, compatible with tubes up to 30 mm. It is the perfect choice for users needing to reduce wheelchair dimensions for transport.
Attachments with lateral clamps
Designed for mounting directly onto the wheelchair’s backrest tubes, offering stability and precision:
CLALA: A fixed lateral clamp system, adjustable in height and depth, suitable for 22 and 25 mm tubes (standard system included).
CLAQR: The comprehensive solution for maximum customisation. This is the only attachment that allows for the adjustment of height, depth, and tilt angle. Its quick-release system makes it ideal for foldable wheelchairs.
Join the Evolution
Today, we are not just launching a new line; we are introducing a new way to experience wheelchair posture. FitBack is designed for those seeking structural excellence and maximum freedom of movement with total safety, whether you are a user or a professional seeking advanced solutions.
