Multigrip™ Headrests
The original and innovative Jenx Multigrip™ headrest is now available in 3 sizes for all Jenx seating systems.
Nursery Tray
A useful surface for work, feeding or play*, made from antibacterial plastic providing a hygienic and easy to clean surface. Contrasting tray edging gives a definitive boundary particularly useful for children with visual impairments and is also raised to allow toys or other items to be securely fastened in place.
Tray Elbow Blocks
Used to encourage arms into a midline position and/or to block excessive retraction, made from gray polyurethane foam and come as a pair.
Multigrip™ Shoulder Protractor
A unique and innovative Jenx design, the trademarked Multigrip™ shoulder protractor is available exclusively on the bee. Cushioned fingers provide flexible support and it simply slots into place beneath the headrest., encouraging children to bring arms into midline.
Flexible Thoracic Support Pads
Available in a range of sizes, these slimline and super flexible support pads (with straps) are designed to provide outstanding positioning with comfort in mind. All sizes feature single handed flip-away action and are independently adjustable for height and width to ensure maximum trunk control.
Thoracic Support Pads
These slimline trunk support pads are made from flexible and hygienic PU. Each is available as a wrap around support with adjustable chest strap or shorter prompt support without strap.

Can be off set to brace a scoliosis or accommodate other skeletal deformities.
Arm Rests
Provided as a pair the Jenx armrests are independently adjustable for height and angle. Clear markings make it easy to set the armrests at the correct height. Required for using a tray.
Abduction Block

Long Leg Sitting Board
Easily and firmly attached and removed with just two wingnuts, the long leg sitting board can be used permanently or intermittently for very young children or those needing an extra stretch to the thighs or calves. Adjustable support blocks firmly Velcro on. All other settings remain unchanged making the change from regular to long leg sitting quick and easy.

Foam Blocks
A pair of foam blocks which can be used to fill gaps or provide additional support or cushioning wherever it is needed. Covered in wipe clean PU fabric.
Back Pad Infill
A deeper back pad to reduce the seat depth for really small children. Simply velcro into place behind the standard back pad – easily removed when no longer needed.
Waistcoat Harness
Provides additional positioning support to children. Attach, detach and flip away in seconds with a single hand – no tools required.
Footplate Pad
Attach to the footplate to give a softer surface for children who don't need a more structured foot positioning.
Booties

Sandals
Jenx sandals are interchangeable across the entire range of Jenx seating and standing products.
Sandal Raising Blocks
The raising block kits* give the sandals that extra bit of height where needed! Use 1 set to accommodate for leg length discrepancy or use 2 sets to raise the height of the footplate on any product to maximise the available growth.
