Quickie IRIS tilt-in-space manual wheelchair is a perfect solution for the pediatric user requiring rotation-in-space seating.

The Sunrise medical Quickie IRIS (Intelligent rotation in space) tilt-in-space wheelchair was developed as a dramatic new approach to tilting in space. Unlike systems that incorporate a fixed pivot-point, dual pivot-point, or linear element, the Quickie IRIS rotational design is based on the idea of rotating the seat-frame around a user's center-of-gravity. This, combined with up to 60° of posterior rotation and hi-resolution adjustment, provides the ultimate in control, maneuverability, and stability.

The Sunrise medical Quickie IRIS tilt-in-space wheelchair is available with a transit option for 250 lbs. and 350 lbs. user weight-limits. Most tilt-in-space wheelchair users have difficulty making transfers and many are required to remain in their wheelchair. The transit option avoids many of the problems associated with transferring in and out of the wheelchair during transportation. Special aluminum alloys make the Quickie IRIS one of the lightest manual rotation-in-space chairs in today's market.

Rotation-in-space

The Quickie IRIS wheelchair utilizes a rotational tilt-system. Instead of tilting the seat frame from an outside pivot-point the Quickie IRIS wheelchair actually rotates the seat frame around the user's center-of-gravity.

The 60° tilt advantage

The Quickie IRIS wheelchair features three tilt ranges: -5° to 50°, 0° to 55°, and 5° to 60°. As the seat frame rotates past 45°, a significant amount of pressure transfers from the seat to the back.

Built-in-adjustability

The Quickie IRIS wheelchair has extensive built-in adjustability. The Quickie IRIS frame can literally expand from 14" -22" in width and 15" - 22" in depth changing only four small parts.

Low seat-to-floor height

The Quickie IRIS wheelchair features a 14" front seat-to-floor height. Using a drop seat, this distance can be lowered to a 12 ½" seat-to-floor height.
