QUICKIE Iris – Tilt In Space Wheelchair
Featuring up to 55° of Intelligent Rotation in Space Technology
The ultimate tilt-in-space wheelchair, the QUICKIE® IRIS® features up to 55° of Intelligent Rotation in Space (IRIS) Technology, the broadest range of positioning and caregiver options, numerous adjustments, and one of the lightest weights among tilt-in-space wheelchairs on the market. Intelligent Rotation in Space technology means the seat frame rotates around the rider’s centre of gravity. This results in a smooth tilting motion that is easy to control and allows for the shortest possible wheelbase for easy manoeuvrability. The IRIS manual wheelchair features 40° or 55° rotation ranges that can be set to achieve up to 45° or 60° of posterior rotation for superior positioning.
QUICKIE IRIS: From Invention to Perfection
The QUICKIE IRIS® employs a unique tilt mechanism with a curved rocker arm, enabling the seat frame to rotate on the base frame while keeping the individual’s centre of gravity (COG) closely aligned with the chair’s centre of rotation (COR). This alignment is maintained throughout the tilt cycle, offering several advantages over other tilt systems. The IRIS allows the shortest wheelbase to enhance manoeuvrability without compromising stability. The alignment of COG and COR reduces the risk of front-loading the casters without sacrificing safety. Additionally, the optimal alignment minimizes the effort required for tilting, promoting smooth and effortless movement. The constant COG alignment helps eliminate issues associated with horizontal shifts in other tilt systems, such as triggers for spasticity, agitation in riders with cognitive issues, and protective extension reactions.
