Why the Compass SPT, Versatility Beyond Belief

Invacare® Compass™ SPT Self Propelling Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair

Invacare® Compass® SPT Self Propelling Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair

Why the Compass™ SPT

Traditional tilt-in-space wheelchair designs often force a choice between meeting independent mobility or positioning needs. Wheel access is difficult for hand propulsion and seat-to-floor limitations inhibit foot propulsion. With the Invacare® Compass™ SPT Tilt-in- Space wheelchair, you no longer need to sacrifice independent mobility at the expense of providing stability and positioning with tilt-in-space.

Exceptional Wheel Access and Super Low Seat-to-Floor

The Compass SPT can get super low to the ground with a seat-to-floor height starting at 13.5"* for those who foot propel. The SPT model also provides exceptional drive wheel access through its front wheel configuration for hand propulsion, providing the consumer with several options of self-propulsion.

*13.5-inch seat-to-floor height achieved using an 18" drive wheel and 5" caster. Use special number C-030917115944 when ordering.

Versatility Beyond Belief

The versatility of the Compass SPT is remarkable. In front wheel configuration, the consumer can be tilted 10˚ to 15˚ for postural support while self-propelling. The SPT offers a full 45˚ of tilt at all seat-to-floor heights for postural needs, musculo-skeletal concerns, sitting tolerance/fatigue management, and functional requirements. The back can be adjusted from 90˚ to 120˚ in 10˚ increments to meet needs which may include positioning for kyphotic posture, hip range- of-motion limitations, trunk balance, vision, or even swallowing. For dependent mobility or caregiver needs, the Compass SPT can be converted to a rear wheel configuration tilt-in-space wheelchair without requiring additional parts.

Balanced and Controlled Tilt

Locating the pivot point closer to the consumer’s center-of-gravity provides a well-balanced tilt experience, making it easier for the care- giver and less startling for the consumer. Dual gas cylinders control the tilt, allowing the consumer sitting in the wheelchair to feel more secure and comfortable during the process.
