3 Innovative, Ground Breaking Products
Product improvements hit the market almost daily but here are 3 innovative products that break new ground. Give SelfCare a call to find about more.
Wipeable Slipcovers for Invacare Matrx Backs
 What started as infection control for MSRA is looking like a great option for clients who need rain protection for their solid back. Consider the increased comfort of a power wheelchair user who let Invacare know he would wait 3 days for his back to eventually dry out if he had been out in the rain. Since he purchased a Wipeable Slipcover, there is no more sitting around next to a damp back.
Matrx Back Wipeable Slipcover details:
- Fits over any Matrx solid back (over the back and cover)
- Made with Startex (smooth side out) for protection from moisture or contamination and easy wipe-off cleaning
- A great way to protect your back
- Purchased at the same time as the Matrx back, cost is $100
- Purchased after buying the Matrx back, cost is $150
