Matrx Flo-tech Contour Pressure Relief Wheelchair Cushion
Patients who spend long stretches of time in their wheelchair may require the use of a pressure relief cushion to guard against the risk of pressure ulcers, but all pressure relief cushions are not created equally. The Matrx Flo-tech Contour Pressure Relief Wheelchair Cushion is a moulded cushion that is contoured into sections to provide excellent pressure relief suitable for those at high risk of pressure ulcer development. It provides a combination of improved posture and a large support surface area, offering great stability and comfort, as well as a reduction in shear and friction forces.
This cushion is available in a range of heights and widths with a choice of four different covers. Choose your desired options using the drop-down menus at the top of the page.

Moulded Foam Cushion
Moulding allows the Matrx Flo-tech Contour Pressure Relief Wheelchair Cushion to provide a three-dimensional form, which cannot be emulated in cut foam. This foam provides ergonomic support and postural assistance, and features the added benefit of being more durable than standard cut foam cushions.
Contoured for Weight Distribution
This cushion is contoured into sections designed to maximise pressure distribution and comfort. This design increases the support surface area, reducing high pressure areas and significantly contributing to pressure ulcer prevention. As this is a deep contoured cushion, it is suitable for use by heavier people.
