Jay J3 Wheelchair Back

The Jay® J3™ Back features the most versatile hardware package, flexible positioning system, and all-in-one package that Jay has ever created.

The J3™ Back is dedicated to eliminating compromises such as: towel bars that interfere with the mounting hardware, backrest contours that fail to match the user or even back heights that are too tall or too short. J3™ supplies multiple solutions with one product.

When buying a back, most people expect it to work without complication: the shell fits just right, the hardware mounts easily, contouring matches exactly, and moving the back on and off the chair is effortless. For most products, this is the ideal not the reality….until the J3™ Back. Never before have the creative minds of JAY® spent more time studying the subtleties of fitting the back to the chair and the user to the back. Their result: The J3 Back. The most comprehensive combination of adjustable hardware, individual shell sizes and positioning capabilities ever assembled. Now more than ever, we’ve got your back.

JAYMount hardware offers so many ways to mount:
JAYMount™ hardware designed to fit: Engineered to mount on crowded back posts ranging from 1 1/8” to 3/4”, JAYMount hardware virtually eliminates incompatibility. All three dimensions of height, angle and depth can be adjusted while the user remains in the chair.

A multitude of shapes and sizes: "We've got your back".
Providing the correct size back for each individual is critical to preventing problems down the road. For this reason, the J3 back offers virtually every combination of depth, height and width that an adult user may require

Spine-Align Posture Conforming System:
The Spine Align System is simple to use and creates the individual shape necessary to best support the user. Result: Optimal postural support, pressure distribution and comfort.

• The J3 Back features the most complete portfolio of options we've ever assembled on one order form. It eliminates wading through a stack of order forms to locate the right combination of parts and pieces. Ordering is simple as determining the contour depth, the level of support, the back support height, the user's back width, and the hardware preference. These 5 variables create the single part number that is highly intuitive.
• Today, more and more chairs are purchased with a transit option for use as a seat in motor vehicles. Unfortunately, most replacement backs are not tested and validated for this use. The J3™ is the first back to be transit tested for use on transit wheelchairs.
• The J3 Back features one of the widest ranges of available accessories. Multiple lateral sizes, Spine-Align positioning components, Whitmyer® headrests, Comfort Fit® chest straps, and trunk straps are just a sample of the available options. Best of all, the headrests and chest straps can be pre-mounted at the factory saving valuable time and money.
• When it comes to backrests, preventing excess moisture and regulating temperature are two of the requirements clinicians and RTSs take into consideration. Every J3™ back features special new spacer fabric upholstery designed to wick moisture away from the skin and circulate air flow throughout the cover.
• Never again worry about losing seat depth when adjusting the backrest angle. The J3™ back provides up to 22° of back angle adjustment with minimal to zero loss of seat depth. This is especially helpful for individuals with postural deformities who may require more extreme angles.
