Matrix Core

Hoopla!! Every 4 years we are inundated with presidential candidates stumping on stages and making promises that leave us wondering:  will that solution really work?

Choosing DME, particularly wheelchair cushions, should never leave you wondering – especially when quality patient care is at risk.  Improved clinical outcomes require hard work and coordination of many moving parts.  It’s no surprise that clinicians want and need DME that isn’t complicated to use, and can play its role successfully every time.

If a cushion requires daily / weekly adjusting and monitoring, especially on the busy floor of a SNF, it is likely that the cushion may not always function the way it was intended, and thus limit positive outcomes.

The Matrix Medium Profile cushion does not require adjusting and works every time to positively impact clinical outcomes and quality of life.  It is an ideal seating surface for residents with a history of skin breakdown, who are at an elevated risk of skin breakdown, or have existing wounds. The Matrix provides excellent skin protection in three (3) ways:

  1. Pressure Re-distribution: The Matrix gel core re-distributes weight uniformly and reduces areas of pressure
  2. Shear Reduction: The Matrix moves with the user, reducing shear forces on the skin
  3. Ventilation: Over 80% of the surface area of the Matrix core is air, so it promotes excellent ventilation to dissipate heat and keep skin cool and dry

The Matrix is designed specifically for long term care facilities so it requires virtually no maintenance other than cleaning!

  • There is no inflation.
  • No kneading.
  • The cushion cannot be popped.
  • The gel will not leak.
  • If someone takes the leg rests off the chair and places them on the cushion, it will not break, pop, or ruin the cushion.  

 

The only thing the clinician needs to do is put the cushion in the patient’s chair- it will function as it was intended – every time.

Additionally, the Matrix has a 5 year warranty on the cushion core which makes it a great return on investment. I have attached a picture of the core, as well as the brief.
