The Invacare® InTouch™ PCS is a Positioning Back with applications for both manual and power chair users, for upright seating systems and for tilt and/or recline systems. The back was designed with features that synergize to provide the exceptional Positioning, Comfort and Stability required by wheelchair users every day. If the shape is not right, then nothing else matters.
Positioning
•Lightweight aluminum back with 3" of lateral contour depth
•Scapular cutouts
•Tapered contours at the sacral portion
•New easy to adjust hardware
Comfort
•Soft foam over the back shell
•New spacer fabric upholstery
•Unique sizes in 1" width increments
Stability
•Optional thoracic lateral supports and pelvic stabilizers for wheelchair users with positioning needs that require additional lateral or pelvic control
•Unique back mounting hardware
Spacer fabric effectively dissipates heat and moisture.

| 3" contour depth |
| Sacral support |
| Sacral contours |
Features | Functional Benefits |
Regular and tall heights | Accommodate the different postural requirements and need for taller back supports when used with tilt and/or recline |
1" soft foam | Provides optimal comfort with pressure redistribution |
Spacer fabric | Allows for improved airflow between the user and the back for optimal management of heat and moisture to promote better skin integrity |
Scapular cutouts | Facilitate upright positioning with trunk extension without interfering with upper extremity function. By not limiting upper extremity |
| range of motion, overall functionality is maximized |
3" lateral contour depth | Provides lateral trunk support to facilitate centering and postural control with proximal stability required for function |
Sacral support | Facilitates proximal stability required for function. Provides pelvic control/support for an upright posture with trunk extension |
Sacral contours | Tapered contours at the sacral portion of the back allow full contact of the back shell against the user without interfering with hip |
| placement in the seating system |
Angle adjustable hardware | Allows accommodation of hip range of motion limitations, kyphotic postures and posterior pelvic tilt by opening up seat to back angle |
Depth adjustable hardware | Allows positioning without losing seat depth, thereby maximizing the area of seating surface for optimal pressure redistribution |
Height adjustable hardware | Accommodates user’s positioning requirements in the wheelchair |
