Invacare® Solara® Wheelchair

Anything else is a compromise.™

Invacare ® Solara ® Wheelchair
The first generation Invacare® Solara®, the foundation of our revolutionary Solara tilt-in-space
wheelchairs, sets the standard for quality, durability and design.

55 Degrees of Tilt

Invacare® Solara ®Wheelchair

With 45 degrees of posterior tilt,
the Solara allows the caregiver
to change the consumer’s
positioning throughout the day
for comfort/pain relief, muscle
tone management, pressure
relief, feeding/swallowing and
postural support. 10 degrees of
anterior tilt facilitates additional
positioning or transfers. A simple
angle indicator provides
caregivers with a point of
reference when positioning the
consumer for different activities.
Stable Base

With a wheelbase shorter than
fixed pivot point tilts, the Solara
balances the consumer within
the footprint of the wheelchair.
This provides maximum stability
even when seating is mounted in
front of the back canes. There is
no guesswork or adjustment to
balance the consumer within the
base frame.
A flared front end adds stability
to the chair and reduces
interference between casters and
legrests for consumers with tight
hamstrings. Additionally, a flared
front end provides clearance for
erratic foot propellers, such as
consumers with traumatic brain
injury or developmental
challenges.

Integrated, welded head tubes provide
maximum durability. 6" x 2" semipneumatic casters are a good choice for
clearing thresholds.

Optional Dorsi / Plantar adjustable angle
footplates allow you to adjust angle with
foot on footplate.

Adjustable angle rigidizing handle bar
provides the greatest range of adjustment
for caregivers short or tall.

Weight Shift Tilt-in-Space

Durability

The patented weight shift design of the Solara eliminates tilting the
consumer around a fixed pivot point, keeping the client’s center-ofgravity almost perfectly stationery throughout the entire 55˚ tilt range.
The Solara maintains optimal stability but decreases the overall
wheelchair footprint.

Today’s mobility bases are expected to last much
longer than in the past. The Solara leads its class

with years of field-tested experience and proven
durability.
The Solara uses a steel gear rack and multiple
cable-activated teeth for a secure hold in a tilted
position. The welded steel side frames of the
Solara provide a solid base proven to withstand the
demands of some of the toughest tilt-in-space
wheelchair consumers.
