Description

Aluminium and steel, transit wheelchair, with ELECTRIC tilt in space reclining seating.
Azalea is fully adjustable in seat angle, height and backrest with ELECTRIC tilt in space and reclining backrest. The wheelchair is suitable for youth and adult use, and is crash tested.

Invacare Reo Azalea wheelchairs are of the high test quality. This chair is as brand new and comes with Roho quadracell high profile cushion and gel foot protection covers.

The Rea Azalea is the natural choice for the moderately active user as well as for the more passive one. The comfortable seating system allows the user to alter the seat position, ensuring maximum comfort at all times. This combined with good driving characteristics makes Azalea the ideal choice. Azalea is a transit version that keeps the same frame but with small rear wheels called Rea Azalea Assist. The new backrest, Flex 3, is multi adjustable in height, width and shape for different body forms.

Maximised seating comfort and adjustments as key features

With a combination of comfortable seating, easy adjustable seat angle and backrest recline and the possibility for self propelling or pushed by an attendant plus all the size adjustments makes the Rea Azalea the natural choice when selecting a passive wheelchair.

Innumerable possibilities

With three different frame sizes , a range of seat widths from 37 to 59 cm can be achieved. The wheelchair has individual width adjustments in the armrests and leg rest attachments as standard.

Tilt & recline makes life comfortable

The Rea Azalea and Rea Azalea Assist have a 25° seat tilt respectively and a 30° backrest recline. Both tilt and recline can be easily adjusted manually or electrically by the assistant and also by the user for the electrical version.

The backrest has a biomechanical positioning hinge, which follows the user’s natural back movement when adjusting the backrest angle. Combined with the seat-tilt function, the DSS (Dual Stability System) helps to prevent Decubitus thanks to its non friction re-body positioning.

DSS – Dual Stability System

Passive wheelchair users are heavily dependent on their wheelchair and require a great deal of assistance from attendants in their daily life. To address these needs, Invacare Passive wheelchairs feature the Dual Stability System, known as ‘DSS’, which offers two vital features:

• Body length compensation
• Weight shifting

The beauty of this system is that when the seat tilts, it moves downwards and forwards, retaining stability despite the backwards leaning position; the seat simply slides in-between the chassis.
