Invacare Matrx Libra Anti-Decubitus Cushion

Brand: Invacare
Category: Tactical Medicine > Rehabilitation and Post-Injury Recovery > Rehabilitation Products

The Invacare Matrx Libra cushion is a specialized product for wheelchair users who require a high level of skin protection and reliable positioning. This anti-decubitus cushion requires minimal maintenance and provides effective load redistribution across the thigh area, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. The combination of foam material and a gel element ensures both cushioning and localized pressure distribution, providing maximum protection for bony prominences and comfort during prolonged sitting.

Design and Materials Description

Matrx Libra features a unique two-layer design: a foam layer for shape retention and pelvic position control, and gel inserts or a gel bladder that reliably protect the ischial bones and increase the contact area with the support surface, reducing peak loads. The new two-layer gel bladder contains a temperature-insensitive fluid that reduces shear and reliably protects bony prominences.

Key Features

• Combination of foam material and gel element to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and protect bony prominences.
• Rounded rear part of the cushion that minimizes the gap between the cushion and the chair back for a more comfortable and stable position.
• Contoured surface for improved pelvic stabilization and posture support.
• Pelvic and thigh stabilization, important for wheelchair positioning.
• Available in various sizes for individual user fitting.

Gel Inserts

Gel inserts reliably protect the ischial bones and maximize the contact area with the surface, significantly reducing peak pressure and the risk of pressure ulcer formation.

Contoured Surface

The contoured surface of the cushion improves pelvic stabilization and posture support, which is important for long-term comfort and preventing user displacement in the chair.

Protective Cover

The cover is easy to remove, does not wrinkle, and reduces friction, contributing to additional comfort and reducing the risk of skin irritation.

Additional ULTRA-FRESH Cover

The additional ULTRA-FRESH cover is designed for antimicrobial protection and odor control: it has an antimicrobial treatment that makes it resistant to the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

Practical Application

The Matrx Libra cushion is suitable for both active users and individuals with a very high risk of pressure ulcers. It provides complete stability in a wheelchair, assists with positioning, and reduces the need for frequent repositioning and adjustments. The materials and construction are designed for durability and ease of use.

Matrx Libra – an indispensable element in user positioning in a wheelchair.
