Added Protection for Everyday Wheelchair Backrest Use

The Matrx E2 Protect Slipcover gives wheelchair users and caregivers an easy way to add a protective barrier over the backrest surface. For personal wheelchair use, it can help protect the original backrest cover from spills, moisture, body oils, routine contact, and everyday wear.

Because the cover is removable and wipeable, it is especially helpful for users who want a cleaner, easier-to-maintain back support without replacing the entire backrest cover. It can also provide added peace of mind for users who travel, attend medical appointments, or want a simple way to keep their wheelchair backrest surface better protected during daily use.

Easy Cleaning & Infection-Control Support

The wipeable Startex™ surface is designed to stand up to repeated cleaning with hospital-grade disinfecting wipes, helping make routine maintenance faster and more convenient. Welded seams help reduce areas where particles or fluids can become trapped, supporting a cleaner and more protective cover design.

When deeper cleaning is needed, the slipcover can be removed from the backrest and machine washed. The shower-cap style fit makes it easy to take the cover off for laundering and reinstall it after cleaning, which is useful for both individual users and care teams managing frequent cleaning routines.

Practical for Home, Clinical, and Facility Environments

The Matrx E2 Protect Slipcover is a helpful accessory for personal wheelchair users, caregivers, seating clinics, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, long-term care settings, and shared-equipment programs. It provides a simple way to help protect a wheelchair back support while supporting easier cleaning between uses.

For healthcare and rehab environments, the slipcover can help support infection-control protocols and frequent disinfecting needs. For individual users, it offers a practical layer of protection for a personal backrest, helping keep the seating surface cleaner and easier to care for over time.

Moisture-Resistant Startex™ Cover Design

The Matrx E2 Protect Slipcover uses moisture-resistant Startex™ material to help protect the wheelchair backrest surface from spills, fluids, and everyday exposure. This added barrier helps reduce direct contact with the original backrest cover while still allowing the back support to remain easy to clean and maintain.

The removable cover design is useful for anyone who wants additional protection without replacing the original backrest cover. It is also well suited for care environments where wheelchair backrests may be cleaned frequently or used in clinical, shared, or high-contact settings.

Compatibility

The Matrx E2 Protect Slipcover is designed for compatible Invacare Matrx Elite, E2, and TR backrest models. It is available for Standard and Deep contour back supports, allowing the slipcover to match the backrest style being covered.

Because backrest sizing and contour depth vary by model, choose the slipcover size and style that matches the Matrx backrest being covered. This item is not intended as a universal wheelchair backrest cover unless compatibility has been confirmed.
