Exploring Stealth Head Positioning Solutions

Head positioning is one of the most critical aspects of seating and mobility. Proper support can improve posture, breathing, swallowing, vision, and overall comfort.

Compatibility with the Swing Away System for adding temporal pads or mounting switches and control elements.
UniLink™ hardware for infinite mounting and positioning possibilities.

UniLink™ Ultra

For clients with more complex needs, the UniLink™ Ultra Head Positioning System provides a comprehensive and modular solution.

Why it Works

Each component is designed to address a specific area of support:

Occipital Pad: Supports the occiput; available in a variety of sizes.
Suboccipital Pad: Cups the back of the skull to limit hyperextension and improve neck stability.
Lateral Facial Pads: Add lateral support and can create 3- or 4-point control when paired with the suboccipital pad—reducing lateral flexion and rotation.

With options for foam or gel, multiple sizes, and wide adjustability, the Ultra system adapts to even the most unique head positioning challenges.

Building a Custom Ultra System

Creating an individualized Ultra setup is simple:

Select the mounting hardware
Choose the positioning links
Select the suboccipital pad
Choose the occipital pad

i2i Head Positioning System

The i2i Head Positioning System offers a unique, wrap-around design that promotes alignment of the head, neck, and upper torso.

The i2i is particularly effective for users who need integrated control of both head and upper trunk positioning.

What Makes It Different?

It maximizes contact with the suboccipital shelf, helping stabilize the head without contacting the occipital area.
Optional features—like lateral components, ear cutouts, gel inserts, adjustable arms, and a chin prompt—allow for fine-tuned adjustments and extra support.

Comfort Plus Series

The Comfort Plus Series offers a trio of headrests that vary in structure and adjustability:

Comfort Plus (CP)

A classic design with a soft contour that supports midline head positioning.

Tri-Comfort Plus (TCP)

Adds angled lateral wings for more fixed, structured lateral support.

Adjustable Comfort Plus (ACP)

Includes all the features of the TCP, but with independently adjustable wings for a fully customized fit.

This series is ideal for users who need anything from a simple contour to more defined lateral control.

All Positioning (AP)

The All Positioning Head Support combines occipital and suboccipital support within a single pad. It helps discourage lateral flexion and features mouldable outer pads to shape support exactly where needed.

An optional Swing Away System can be added to mount switches, sip-and-puff devices, or alternative drive controls, perfect for enhancing access without sacrificing comfort.

Combo (CB)

The Combo Head Support (CB) features a low-profile, three-pad configuration for adjustable, targeted lateral support.

This design is excellent for users who require adaptable lateral head support without bulky equipment.

Key Benefits

Lateral pads adjust from flat to 45°.
Side pad contours avoid interference with the ears and preserve peripheral vision.
Multiple size options and independently adjustable pads support a wide range of user needs.
