1.2 Overview

Important Information

The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to understand their causes and your role in

a skin management program.

Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have questions regarding individual limitations

and needs. All cushions should be selected carefully. Working with your therapist and physician is the

best way to assure that a cushion choice matches your individual needs. As the needs of the individual

become more complex, cushion evaluation becomes more important.

Invacare Matrx PS

The Invacare Matrx PS cushion features an anatomically contoured shape with a unique waffled ischial

relief recess and an innovative reversible outer cover.

Outer Cover and Inner Cover

The outer cover utilizes a unique reversible Dartex™ outer cover, which provides two unique cover

options to satisfy your needs in terms of comfort and aesthetics. This specially designed, reversible

stretch fabric outer cover may be installed with either the knitted surface exposed or with the smooth

surface exposed. The outer cover is moisture resistant and breathable.

The inner cover is moisture resistant to protect the foam. Regular cleaning and inspection of the covers

is recommended. Refer to Care and Maintenance

on page 3.
