Invacare
Küschall Ultralights
Invacare Corp. officially
relaunched the Küschall
product line to the United
States during March’s
International Seating
Symposium in Nashville
— founder Rainer Küschall
himself was on hand for the introduction. The first arrivals are the
K-Series Attract, the Champion and the Advance. Invacare is billing
the rigid K-SERIES as a versatile and configurable everyday chair
that can accommodate all types of users. The CHAMPION (pictured)
is foldable in a single motion, including its footrest, while being
engineered for greater “rigid-esque” stability in its ride. The Advance
offers the opportunity to swap out the front frame via a quickrelease
option for environments or tasks that require a more compact
footprint. The Küschall chairs become Invacare’s premium offerings in
the ultralightweight space; each chair is handcrafted in Switzerland
to meet its user’s specifications.

APEX Carbon
Designed to optimize ride, reduce weight
and provide optimal stability and performance,
the new APEX uses state-of-the-art
carbon fiber manufacturing technology
to produce a frame that is lightest in class
as well as durable and adjustable. With a
special rigidizing system, the APEX delivers
the smooth ride you expect from carbon
fiber, but also increases lateral stability
and responsiveness. APEX’s carbon fiber is
molded to precise specifications and tested
to ISO and ANSI/RESNA standards. APEX has
a transport weight of 9.2 lbs. to facilitate
vehicle transfers.

Elevation
The Elevation manual wheelchair enables
increased function, independence and
comfort for active users. Suitable for a range
of clients and their varying needs, Elevation
enables users to embrace daily activities
in a number of different environments.
This uniquely designed chair combines a
gas-strut suspension and an ultralightweight
frame to provide dynamic seat height and
an on-the-fly adjustable back angle that can
be instantly adjusted according to what the
user wants to accomplish, from functional
reaching during activities of daily living to
ascending/descending ramps.

MyOn HC with twion Power Assist
From the superior driving performance
that the MyOn HC wheelchair’s patented
H-frame folding mechanism delivers, to the
assistance in forward, reverse and turning
that Alber’s lightweight, quick-release twion
power-assist wheels provide, this combination
offers the ultimate in performance and
convenience. The MyOn HC can be configured
to accept either standard 24" cross
spoke wheels or Alber’s twion power-assist
wheels.

QX/QXi Folding Series
Quickie’s new QX/QXi manual folding chair
is available with a vertically adjustable
axle plate to fit the K0004 HCPCS code
(seen here as the black-framed QX),
and with both vertical and horizontal
adjustability to meet the
requirements of the K0005 code
(seen here as the blue QXi).
Making axle plate adjustments
is quick (less than a minute)
and easy; a single tool is used to
fine tune center of gravity, seat-to-floor height, back
height and axle camber and spacing. A three-arm
cross brace inside the frame provides a more
rigid ride, and Quickie options — including
armrests, wheels, tires and casters —
enable clinicians and ATPs to find the
optimal configuration for every client.
Invacare
MyOn HC
By offering virtually unlimited configurations, the
new MyOn HC manual wheelchair can be especially
beneficial to newly injured clients, who may need
to adjust their mobility systems as their abilities
change. Despite that adjustability, the MyOn HC
remains easy to fine tune (with a single tool as the
user stays seated in the chair) and easy to store,
thanks to a patented H-frame folding
mechanism that can be operated
with one hand. That folding design
also locks the side frames when the
MyOn HC is in use to provide optimal
stability and performance.

7 Series
7000 series aerospace aluminum,
heat treated using ShapeLoc
technology, is at the heart of
the new 7 Series’ ultralightweight
frame that has thinner,
lighter-weight tubing along with
increased strength. The 7R allows
quick back-angle adjustments
throughout the day, while the
7RS has a fully rigid backrest
and axle plate to further reduce
overall weight. The new Freestyle
Backrest System provides 360° of
upper-body motion.

Top End Crossfire T7A
Welded caster head tubes eliminate
the need for an adjustment
in a high-impact area of the
Top End Crossfire T7A, thereby
preserving performance for the
long haul. This specially designed
high-performance frame endures
the rigors of everyday use and
provides a smooth, efficient ride
for active users who need their
wheelchairs to keep up with all
they do.
Motion Composites
APEX
Cutting-edge carbon fiber
technology gives the ultralightweight
design of the new
APEX outstanding strength
and durability. With a transport
weight of just 9.2 lbs., APEX
provides superior weight in a fully
adjustable rigid chair. A more
open, responsive design concept
increases rear-frame rigidity and
improves lateral stability, while
maintaining top-of-the-line
comfort and easy transportability
for active lifestyles.
TiLite
TX Series 2
The new TX ultralightweight chair
provides the power and style of a
rigid design with the convenience
of a folding one. The titanium
dual-tube TiFit frame offers durability,
while side-to-side folding
provides a slim folded profile for
easy transportation. The TX Series
2 is available in seat widths of
12-20" and seat depths of 14-20".
Every TX2 is made specifically to
accommodate and fit the sizing
and needs of its particular and
unique user.
