VARILITE Icon Back System Low wheelchair backrest
The VARILITE Icon Back System Low is a low-profile wheelchair backrest that pairs a rigid shell with an air-foam cushion. A two-way air valve is used to adjust the cushion. The VariLock hardware adjusts angle, depth, width and height with one tool, even with the user seated, and the back lifts off with one hand. Orange markings show when a lock is open.

VARILITE Icon Back System Low: common questions
How is the VARILITE Icon Low back adjusted?
One tool adjusts angle, depth, width and height on the VariLock hardware. VARILITE says the adjusters are reached from the rear or outside of the brackets and can be used with the user in the chair.
Can the Icon Back System Low be removed quickly?
Yes. The back is designed to come off the chair with one hand. Two hardware parts stay clamped to the back canes.
What sizes does the Icon Back System Low come in?
VARILITE gives widths and heights in its price list, not on the product page. Tell us your chair width and we will confirm sizes in the quote.
