Front Wedge for the Matrx Flo-Tech Solution Xtra Wheelchair Cushion

The Matrx Flo-tech Solution Xtra Pressure Relief Wheelchair Cushion is unique in that it offers a number of contoured positioning accessories, helping it to correct common postural problems while assisting in pressure relief. This Front Wedge is one such accessory, designed to be placed under the base of the cushion, and should be trimmed to fit to provide maximum benefit to pelvic stability.

How Does the Front Wedge Assist Posture?

Once trimmed to fit and placed underneath the base of the cushion, this Front Wedge can provide a significant boost to pelvic stability. It will accommodate posterior tilt while reducing anterior tilt, providing a more correct and comfortable seating position.

What Other Modular Positioning Options Are Available?

There are a number of modular positioning options that can be added to the Flo-Tech Solution Xtra cushion. Many of these accessories can be seen in use with the cushion the image below. These options include:

• Pelvic Obliquity Pad: Can be inserted into either side of the ischial well under the gel pad to correct fixed pelvic obliquities
• Hip Aligner: Can be placed on either side on the rear edge of the cushion, either unilaterally or bilaterally, to encourage mid-lining and hip alignment
• Thigh Aligner: Can be placed on either side at the front of the femoral shelf, unilaterally or bilaterally, to reduce external rotation and abduction of the thighs
• Pommel (Standard or Deep): Placed at the front of the cushion to increase existing pommel height
• Rigidiser: Placed under the whole cushion (including wedges) to maintain a firm base on sling canvases
• Fluid Sac: Can be inserted into the ischial well where required to prevent forward sliding, reduce sacral pressure and help mild pelvic obliquity
• Wedges (Front, Side and Lateral): Placed under cushion to assist with pelvic stability and anterior tilt

How Do I Keep the Matrx Flo-tech Cushion Hygienic?

Washing Instructions
