1.2 Overview
Important Information
The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to understand their causes and your role in
a skin management program. Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have questions
regarding individual limitations and needs.
All cushions should be selected carefully. Working with your therapist and physician is the best way to
assure that a cushion choice matches your individual needs. As the needs of the individual become more
complex, cushion evaluation becomes more important.
Invacare Matrx Flo-tech
The Invacare Matrx Flo-tech cushion uses a
combination of molded foam and dual layer fluid
sacs to provide the highest level of skin protection
for users with high risk of skin breakdown.
Fluid Sac
The fluid sac utilizes a unique dual-layer fluid
design in the ishcial/sacral areas to help prevent
bottoming out.
Inner Liner and Outer Cover
The inner liner is moisture resistant to protect
the foam. The outer cover is water resistant and
breathable. Regular cleaning and inspection of the
covers is recommended. Refer to Care and
