Amara
The Amara Therapeutic Wheelchair Back System is designed to improve comfort and support by eliminating the hammock effect of standard wheelchair backs. Amara backs were created to maintain spinal and shoulder alignment and to provide superior pressure redistribution. They’re available in three configurations: fixed back, adjustable back, or dual-zone back. The fixed and adjustable backs are made of high-density Medflex foam, while the dual-zone back has a combi- nation of Medflex and Viscotec memory form for added comfort. All Amara backs have Vyvex-III non-shear covers. The backs are coded E2611-2612.

Adjustable Tension
Back
Designed as the perfect solution for clients with mild positioning needs, this Adjustable Tension Back Cushion has a 1" thick, high-density foam pad to provide optimal pressure redistribution. It secures directly over the wheelchair’s canes for additional strength, comfort and safety. The back folds with the wheelchair for easy transport and storage, and it features five adjustment straps to accommodate a range of seating needs. The breathable, fluid-resistant cover is easy to clean and maintain. Two sizes fit 16-21" wide and 22-26" wide chairs.

Matrx Elite TR
The Invacare Matrx Elite TR back was specially designed for manual or power tilt-only or tilt/recline applications. With that in mind, the back includes an extra layer of SuperSoft HR foam for improved immersion and comfort, and incorporates full support across the client’s shoulder area. The Matrx Elite TR’s “Easy Set” hardware installs and adjusts in minutes, and all adjustments can be made with the user still seated in the wheelchair, for added convenience. Bariatric Elite TR backs with a 500-lb. weight capacity are also available.

Custom-Molded
Backs
Matrix Seating USA’s custom-molded backs offer superior ventilation and pressure distribution, and they’re also designed to be infinitely adjustable. The backs can be grown to accommodate weight gain or evolving positioning requirements. The ventilated design results in excellent reductions of heat and moisture, while also providing optimal pressure distribution. And the backs flex with the wheelchair’s movement to maxi- mize shock absorption, reduce shear and reduce pressure.

AGILITY Carbon
Back System
With a compression-molded, lightweight carbon fiber construction, the AGILITY Carbon combines high-strength perfor- mance with a streamlined design. With single clamps on each side, hardware is smaller, lighter and stronger than typical fixed-back hardware. Discs lock into the carbon fiber to create a solid backrest; when loosened, the discs allow the shell to rotate independently to provide 15° forward/ rearward angle adjustment in 5° incre- ments. Widths range from 14" to 18" in
1" increments.
