The Matrix Series wheelchair cushions are high quality gel cushions that provide an unrivalled combination of skin protection, support, and comfort for elders in wheelchairs. Matrix cushions are designed for ease of use, low maintenance, and durability, making them ideal for institutional or home use.

All Matrix cushions incorporate Gel Elastic Matrix (GEM), a dry polymer gel core that provides a unique combination of skin protection, support, and comfort.

Skin Protection and Comfort: the Matrix wheelchair cushion cores incorporate GEM, a special gel matrix that provides a comfortable support surface for wheelchair bound elders. The GEM core has a matrix configuration that provides:

• Pressure management � the GEM core uses selective buckling to reduce areas of peak pressure and distribute weight uniformly
• Shear reduction � the GEM provides lateral adaptability that reduces shear
• Ventilation � 80% of the surface area of the GEM is air, providing good ventilation that helps regulate surface temperature and humidity.
• Cover � the Matrix cover is breathable and has favorable stretch characteristics for added skin protection.

Support and Stability: the GEM core uses selective buckling to provide a dynamic support surface that conforms to the user�s anatomy and provides a stable sitting foundation.

Hygienic and Easy to Clean: the Matrix wheelchair cushion is covered with an anti-mycotic medical grade fabric that is resistant to urine, fecal matter and blood; ultrasonic welding provides highly durable seams that are impervious to fluid penetration. The GEM core is antibacterial, antifungal, and resistant to odors.

Low Maintenance: the Matrix wheelchair cushion provides the benefits of a gel or air flotation core with virtually no maintenance. GEM core does not require kneading, inflating or adjusting, and requires no additional accessories; it simply works.

Highly Durable: GEM core offers unparalleled stretch and compression characteristics; GEM can stretch over 2,000% and return to its original form without degradation in performance.

Limited five (5) year warranty: the Matrix wheelchair cushion�s GEM core comes with a limited five (5) year warranty, unparalleled in this class of product.
