Invacare® InTouch™ Cushions

The Invacare® InTouch™ Seat Cushions begin with the base for comfort, stability and function. The Stabilite™, Flovair™ and Stabilite™ OM cushions are three distinct cushions with one clear message- if the base isn’t right, nothing else matters.

With the exceptional InTouch Stabilite and Flovair cushions from Invacare, less is more. These hybrid cushions combine contouring in the base with the latest advancements in pressure redistribution technology to create a seating experience like no other. These cushions capture the stability of foam, the pressure redistribution of air and the shear reduction of fluid. This is all accomplished with less volume than has traditionally been used in wheelchair cushions, thus reducing weight and maximizing comfort.

Additionally, the Stabilite OM cushion is intended to provide outstanding positioning and comfort with optimal stability for function. Unique to the design are obliquity inserts under the base that can be utilized to correct or accommodate mild to moderate pelvic obliquities now or in the future.

Positioning Support Base

The larger the surface area, the lower the pressure. Our engineers put purpose behind the contouring of the InTouch base. Leg troughs are slightly abducted.

Soft foam envelops the IT’s, coccyx and sacrum. Firmer foam supports the trochanters and provides additional pelvic support for stability. Smooth, refined

transitions are sculpted to replace steep ridges or uncomfortably placed abductors. The base is designed to maximize functionality and comfort when seated

in a wheelchair.

Features and Functional Benefits

• Soft foam: Allows immersion of the pelvis and increases contact over maximum surface area for maximum comfort, stability and optimal pressure redistribution without bottoming out. By maximizing surface area, pelvic excursion is limited

• Medial Thigh Support: Gentle control of adduction tendencies

• Lateral Thigh Supports: Gentle control of abduction tendencies and positioning guidance to maintain

Maximize surface area

proper alignment of lower extremities

•Slightly Abducted Leg Troughs: Facilitates a neutral to anterior tilt of the pelvis, promoting a stable upright posture

•Trochanter Cutouts: Provides pressure distribution anterior and posterior to the trochanters, further promoting a stable pelvis in the seated position

•Trochanter Support: Firmer foam on either side of the base under the trochanters provides additional pelvic support for stability

•Lateral Pelvic Support: Maintains pelvis in a centered position on the seat and provides lateral pelvic stability and pelvic support

•Posterior Pelvic Support: Provides pelvic control required for stability and function

•Sacral Relief: Provides additional comfort and support for those sitting in a posterior pelvic tilt

•Low Profile: Lowers seat-to-floor height for foot propellers and allows easier lateral transfers without compromising positioning/comfort/stability

Removable Leg Wedges

•Optional Removable Leg Wedges: Lowers front seat-to-floor height for foot propellers and accommodates limited hip flexion by opening up seat to back angle

•Optional Leg Length Cutouts: One or two-inch cutouts accommodate leg length discrepancies
