Invacare®Solara®Wheelchair

Anything else is a compromise.™

55 Degrees of Tilt

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.

Invacare ®Solara ®Wheelchair

Integrated, welded head tubes provide

maximum durability. 6" x 2" semi-

pneumatic 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.

The first generation Invacare®Solara®, the foundation of our revolutionary Solara tilt-in-space

wheelchairs, sets the standard for quality, durability and design.

Weight Shift Tilt-in-Space

The patented weight shift design of the Solara eliminates tilting the

consumer around a fixed pivot point, keeping the client’s center-of-

gravity almost perfectly stationery throughout the entire 55˚ tilt range.

The Solara maintains optimal stability but decreases the overall

wheelchair footprint.

You can have confidence knowing that Invacare-designed wheelchairs

go through some of the industry’s most rigorous performance testing

before introduction and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty on

frames and crossbraces.

Durability

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.

You can have confidence knowing that Invacare-

designed wheelchairs go through some of the

industry’s most rigorous performance testing before

introduction and are backed by a limited lifetime

warranty on frames and crossbraces.

Designed to Meet Positioning Challenges

The Solara can be configured and adjusted to

meet a variety of seating and positioning needs.
