Matrx Elite Deep Heavy-Duty Back

The Invacare Matrx Elite Deep Heavy-Duty Back provides the enhanced lateral trunk support of the Matrx Elite Deep Back in a larger, higher-capacity design for users who require added stability, wider sizing, and dependable postural support. Built with a 6″ deep contoured shell, this backrest helps create a more secure seated position by supporting the trunk and pelvis while reducing unwanted lateral movement.

Designed for larger wheelchair users, the Elite Deep Heavy-Duty Back offers greater support than a standard contour backrest while still allowing shoulder and hip clearance for functional movement, transfers, reaching, and daily mobility. Its lightweight shell, oversized foam and cover design, breathable moisture-resistant cover, and included lumbar positioning pad work together to provide comfort, protection, and daily support in manual or power wheelchair applications.

Heavy-Duty Deep Support for Larger Users

The Matrx Elite Deep Heavy-Duty Back is designed for users who need both higher-capacity support and greater lateral stability. Its 6″ deep contour creates increased contact around the trunk, helping improve alignment and reduce side-to-side movement during daily wheelchair use.

This added support can be especially helpful for users who experience trunk weakness, fatigue, leaning, or difficulty maintaining an upright seated posture. The heavy-duty design provides the strength and sizing needed for larger wheelchair configurations while maintaining the comfort and functional benefits of the Matrx Elite series.

Supportive Fit Without Excess Bulk

While the Elite Deep Heavy-Duty Back provides increased postural control, it is still designed with functional movement in mind. Shoulder and hip clearance help users maintain mobility for reaching, transfers, and daily activities, while the lightweight shell design avoids the overly bulky feel of some high-support backrests.

For users who need more lateral control than a standard heavy-duty backrest can provide, the Elite Deep Heavy-Duty offers a practical balance of strength, stability, comfort, and function.

Easy Set Hardware & Positioning

The Elite Deep Heavy-Duty Back uses Easy Set hardware to simplify installation and adjustment. The hardware allows the backrest to be positioned for height, depth, and angle to better match the user’s posture, wheelchair frame, and support needs.

This adjustability helps providers fine-tune the backrest for comfort, alignment, and secure positioning.

Cover, Comfort & Lumbar Support

The backrest includes a breathable, moisture-resistant cover designed for daily wheelchair use. The oversized foam and cover overlap the shell edges to improve comfort and help protect the user from hard contact points.

A removable lumbar positioning pad is included to provide added lower-back support and allow minor comfort adjustments during setup.

Additional Positioning Options - Sold Separately

The Matrx Elite TR Back can be paired with optional lateral trunk supports to provide added midline stability, postural control, and upper-body support. Lateral supports are commonly used to help reduce leaning, improve alignment, and increase comfort for users who need more support than the backrest alone provides.

Available lateral support options include:

• Fixed Laterals: Provide stable, non-swing-away trunk support with vertical adjustment on the back shell
• Offset Fixed Laterals: Provide 3" of vertical pad placement adjustment and can be mounted higher or lower for customized support
• Swing-Away Laterals: Include a push-button swing-away release for easier transfers, dressing, and caregiver access
• Offset Swing-Away Laterals: Combine swing-away access with added vertical offset adjustment for higher or lower pad placement
• Lateral Support Pads: Available in multiple sizes for use with swing-away lateral hardware
