Quickie IRIS Tilt Wheelchair
Quickie has developed a dramatic new approach to tilting in space. It's called the Quickie IRIS (Intelligent Rotation In Space). Unlike systems that incorporate a fixed pivot-point, dual pivot-point, or linear element, the Quickie IRIS' rotational design is based on the idea of rotating the seat-frame around a user's center-of-gravity. This, combined with up to 60 of posterior rotation and hi-resolution adjustment, provides the ultimate in control, maneuverability, and stability.

Rotation-In-Space
The Quickie IRIS utilizes a rotational tilt-system. Instead of
tilting the seat frame from an outside pivot-point the Quickie IRIS actually rotates the seat frame
around the users center-of-gravity. This rotational system provides the shortest possible wheelbase
without compromising stability. It also insures a smooth and controlled rotation. |

The 60 Tilt Advantage
The Quickie IRIS features three tilt ranges: -5 to 50
, 0 to 55 , and 5 to 60 . As the seat frame rotates past 45 , a significant amount of pressure
transfers from the seat to the back. By providing up to 60 of tilt, the Quickie IRIS insures that the
majority of pressure is removed from the ischial tuberosities. |

Built-In Adjustability
The Quickie IRIS has extensive built-in adjustability.
The chair frame can literally expand from 14" -22" in width and 15" - 22" in depth changing only four
small parts. This vast range of built-in adjustability provides a precise center-of-gravity adjustment
without replacing large frame-assemblies. |

Low Seat-To-Floor Height
The new Zippie Iris features a 13 in. front
seat-to-floor height. Using a drop seat, this distance can be lowered to as low as 11 in. seat-to-floor
height. |
