1.2Overview 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.

Matrx Stabilite Cushion

The Invacare Matrx Stabilite cushion is developed to provide pelvic stability and leg positioning for patients with postural asymmetry. The Invacare Matrx Stabilite Cushion comes fitted with a patent- pending Invacare ThinAir bladder, a unique comfort layer that assists in shear management.

Outer/Inner Covers

The outer cover is made from a water resistant fabric to protect the foam. The top is fabricated from a stretch fabric. The bottom is fabricated from a heavyweight, non-skid fabric.

A water resistant inner cover allows air circulation while providing additional protection for the foam. Regular cleaning and inspection of the outer and inner covers is recommended. Refer to Care and Maintenance on page 7.
