NOTE: This products is often (and best) provided in combination with the Tone Deflector.

Product Name: Dynamic Backrest Mounting Hardware

Manufacturer: Stealth Products, Inc.

Description: This option provides dynamic movement through the backrest – especially useful for clients with high tone.  Unlike other dynamic hardware in the industry – the dynamic seat back hardware (spring) is encased and protected to avoid problems due to corrosion, dust, and other elements that has caused similar systems to lock up or have other performance-related issues.

Like the tone deflector, this hardware is important for 2 main reasons:

  1. It minimizes the impact of strong tone against a stationary support to shield the consumer from absorbing that impact.
  2. It protects the positioning components and hardware (increasing durability and avoiding the need to make frequent adjustments/replacements.)
