Description
The Invacare Matrx Elite Deep back support gives wheelchair users with trunk instability a deep, laterally contoured back on a lightweight aluminum shell. This EDB1820 model is the 18 x 20 in size, rated for users up to 300 lb.
- 6 in contour depth for strong lateral trunk support
- Lightweight contoured aluminum back shell
- Removable, adjustable lumbo-sacral support pad
- Pre-drilled for an optional headrest adapter
- HCPCS E2620 positioning back
Users who lean, slide or tire against a standard sling back need the shell to do the positioning work. The Elite Deep wraps the trunk with a 6 in contour, so the sides of the back hold the user centered instead of relying on straps and cushions. An adjustable lumbo-sacral pad fills the gap at the lower spine, a common source of slouched, sacral sitting. The aluminum shell keeps the whole back light, starting around 3 lb, so it does not burden the chair or the person pushing it. The headrest adapter interface is pre-drilled for users whose positioning plan grows.

Why Choose the Invacare Matrx Elite Deep?
Standard sling backs let an unstable trunk collapse sideways over a day. A deep-contour shell holds posture passively, which is why seating clinics prescribe this class of back.
- Deep lateral contour – the 6 in wrap holds the trunk centered through the day, so posture is maintained by the shell, which reduces dependence on straps and constant repositioning
- Featherweight shell – starting near 3 lb, the aluminum shell adds positioning without chair weight, so propulsion and transfers stay easy, which active users notice
- Growth path built in – lumbar pad adjustment and a pre-drilled headrest interface let the same back adapt, so the seating plan can change without a new back, which protects the investment
