Invacare America Introduces an Innovative Manual Recline Option
Wheelchair users face unique challenges that often require innovative solutions. Invacare® America has introduced a new option designed to enhance the comfort and well-being of power wheelchair users: the Manual Recline. This feature allows caregivers to assist users in reclining to a more comfortable position with ease.
The Simplicity of Manual Recline
Imagine being able to adjust the angle of a wheelchair effortlessly—this is what the Manual Recline achieves. By gently squeezing and then releasing, caregivers can adjust the user's chair back angle up to 30 degrees, providing much-needed relief and comfort. This manual mechanism serves as an excellent alternative to the electric recline systems that not every user can utilize.
Why Choose Manual Over Power Recline?
While powered recline mechanisms offer convenience, they may not be accessible to all wheelchair users, especially those who may require a simpler solution. The Manual Recline from Invacare is a practical option for those looking for ease of use without the complications that sometimes accompany electric systems.
Enhancing User Experience
As Ann Quigley, Vice President of Sales at Invacare America, states, “We're pleased to make the Manual Recline an easy option for people who need a simple and effective reclining mechanism.” This initiative is a direct response to customer feedback emphasizing the demand for user-friendly options in wheelchairs.
Installation and Compatibility
The design of the Manual Recline allows for straightforward attachment to the wheelchair. It can be mounted directly on the back cane of the chair, making it readily accessible to caregivers. This feature is available for select Invacare wheelchairs like the TDX® SP2 and AVIVA® FX, as well as Motion Concepts models like the ROVI X3/A3.
Commitment to Quality and Safety
Invacare America has a robust commitment to quality in its products. The Manual Recline is engineered to support users weighing up to 250 pounds, ensuring safety while maintaining comfort. The robust design and gas spring-assisted mechanism lock securely in place, providing stability that users can rely on.
