Matrix Total Contouring Back Support

The Matrix Total Contouring Back Support combines the proven V-Trak wheelchair mounting system, from Performance Health Products, with MSL's technology to produce an off-the-shelf back support that can be shaped directly to the client's back. Once formed and locked the Matrix Back is used as a one-piece support that can easily be removed from the wheelchair with PHP's cam locking levers. PHP's equipment range will allow the back support to be fitted to almost any wheelchair with a very wide positioning range.

The main benefits of the Matrix Total Contouring Back Support are:

• Three-dimensional, intimately fitting back contours, in a one-piece, easily-removable unit
• An increase in surface area compared to conventional lateral supports of 2 to 3 times minimises pressure and maximizes corrective positioning
• Easy increase or reduction in effective seat depth
• Variable tilt of the backrest and easy height adjustment with central mounting bracket
• Asymmetrical positioning of Matrix shell within support arm adjustment range
• Removable system for wheelchair folding or weight reduction when lifting
