InvacareMatrx Elite Fixed Lateral Support Hardware and Pad
Experience confident, customizable support with the Matrx Elite Fixed Lateral Hardware and Pad. Designed to enhance stability and comfort, these lateral supports help users maintain better posture and trunk alignment throughout the day. Their low-profile hardware mounts directly to Matrx Elite backrests without limiting adjustments, so users keep full range of recline and depth. Lightweight yet durable, the contoured foam pads provide firm positioning with all-day comfort. Available in Standard, Small, and Offset options, you can choose the exact configuration—left, right, or pair—that best fits your client’s or user’s needs.
