Invacare Matrx MX2 Backrest

Description

Invacare Matrx® MX2 Backrest

Specially engineered carbon fibre providing unmatched stability for ultimate freedom and performance

Designed for active individuals, the MX2 is an ultra lightweight backrest with a fresh look and attractive design. A stylish add-on to any lightweight manual wheelchair, the MX2 offers exceptional support to the lower trunk and pelvis, adding comfort and stability for optimised function – either to self-propel or engage in day to day activities.

With the MX2, you have it all – aesthetics, support, comfort and functionality.

Lightweight carbon fibre shell

The MX2 has been specially designed using several layers of carbon fibre to optimise flex and shock absorption. This means that the backrest will have the flexibility to accommodate the individual’s movements whilst helping to keep them in a midline position; which is exactly what an active person needs – stable freedom of movement. It will also play a major role in vibration dampening, especially when combined with the carbon fixation hardware, which enables individuals to ride more comfortably.

The perfect shape

The MX2 offers a 76 mm depth of anatomical contouring for enhanced lateral stability and immersion of the trunk. Lateral cutouts for the hips allow increased freedom of movement; ideal when leaning laterally for pressure relief or when reaching to pick up objects. The scapula cutout allows for freedom of movement of the shoulder blade, without compromising on support, allowing the individual to self-propel efficiently, even with a higher back.

Features and options

Back shell

• Available in four heights and five widths allowing everyone to find a perfect match
• Cutouts for breathability to help manage microclimate
• Slotted design to allow height adjustments even when the individual is in the chair
• Breathable Spacer cover – backrests 230 mm or higher come with leatherette side panels

Easy fit hardware

The MX2 comes available with two types of hardware – Fixed Mount or Mini Set (quick release) – both allowing for 3D adjustment in:
• Height
• Depth (76 mm with fixed hardware; 108 mm with easy set hardware) and Angle (+/- 15° stepless)
• Rotation

The backrest hardware is also width adjustable, allowing the backrest to be fitted to wheelchairs that are up to 25 mm narrower or wider than the actual backrest width – an ideal feature for those with a wider back and narrower hips, or a narrow back and wider hips.
All of these adjustment possibilities ensure a precise fit and positioning in every rigid or folding wheelchair frame with a backrest tube diameter of 19 mm, 22 mm and 25 mm.
