Matrx Mini Back

The Invacare Matrx Mini Back is a pediatric wheelchair backrest designed to provide lightweight postural support, comfort, and improved positioning for children. Built specifically with pediatric users in mind, the Mini Back combines a contoured, low-profile back shell with Mini Set hardware, a compact version of Invacare’s Easy Set-style mounting system designed for smaller wheelchair setups

Pediatric Support in a Lightweight Design

The Matrx Mini Back is designed to give children improved seated support without overwhelming the wheelchair setup. Its contoured shape helps stabilize the hips and trunk, supporting better alignment and positioning throughout daily use

Because pediatric users often need both support and freedom of movement, the Mini Back uses a low-profile shell that provides structure while still allowing functional mobility. This makes it a strong option for children who need more positioning support than sling upholstery but do not require a bulky backrest system.

Mini Set Hardware & Adjustability

The Matrx Mini Back features Mini Set hardware, a compact mounting system designed for pediatric wheelchair setups. Its small attachment points help minimize interference on the back canes, keeping the chair cleaner and easier to configure with other seating components.

The hardware easily adjusts for growth and positioning needs, with up to 4″ of depth adjustment, a 40° angle adjustment range, and rotation adjustment for improved fit and alignment. This allows the backrest to be fine-tuned as the child’s seating needs change over time.

Cover, Comfort & Protection

The Matrx Mini Back includes a water-resistant, breathable cover designed for daily pediatric use. The foam and cover overlap the shell edges to improve comfort and help protect the user from contact with hard surfaces

Its lightweight construction also helps keep the wheelchair easier to handle, which can be especially important for caregivers, transport, and active pediatric mobility routines.
