The Invacare MX2 backrest is the ultra-lightweight postural management backrest for active wheelchair users. Manufactured in lightweight carbon fibre the MX2 backrest starts from just 700 grams and is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. 

The MX2 backrest's carbon shell is constructed with several layers of carbon to optimise the flex and shock absorption properties of the backrest. This ensures flexibility when required to accommodate the movements of the torso, but sufficient stability to maintain a good midline position required for good function. Coupled with the carbon hardware for mounting the backrest to the wheelchair the backrest reduces shocks and vibrations typically felt through other aluminium shell backrests. 

The MX2 is mildly contoured (equivalent to the depth of the Sunrise Medical Jay Medium Contour) with a depth of 76mm (adjustable to 108mm with hardware). The MX2 is available in four different heights depending on the level of support required and five widths to accommodate different torsos. 

For clients seeking the most lightweight solution possible the fixed mount hardware should be used alongside whichever prescribed backrest is recommended - the smaller the width and height the lighter.
