INVACARE How about the INVACARE wheelchair brand introduction

Founded in 1885, Inwellcom is the world's largest brand of household medical devices. Although it is well-known to Chinese consumers for its oxygen concentrator, other products have also performed well, and the sales volume of elderly care and rehabilitation products represented by Lao Ben's wheelchair ranks first in the world. With expertise in both manual and electric wheelchairs, Invigorcon is known for its comfort and performance, with a choice of more than 10 frame colors.
 
Wheelchairs are mainly composed of frames, seats, and wheels, and electric wheelchairs also have motors, controllers, batteries and other accessories, and their comfort depends largely on the frame. Whether the length, height, width and angle of the chair seat, backrest, armrests and leg brackets are in line with the user's body shape directly determines the user's experience. Especially for the elderly, people with lower limb disabilities and other groups, they use wheelchairs frequently, for a long time, a little discomfort, over time, will cause scoliosis, bone and joint deformation, and even a series of problems such as obstruction of breathing, the right size is more important.
 
Although the concept of "customization" is advocated by most wheelchair brands, Invecom is definitely the one that implements it the most thoroughly. Compared with other brands that only have adjustable leg braces, Inwellcom's customized service is the embodiment of its professionalism. The brand's manual wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs, which do not support customization, will also be given a high degree of flexibility at the joints of the backrest, seat and armrest, so that the angle and height can be easily adjusted to ensure comfort.
 
Among the four series of Invigorcon manual wheelchairs, Top End, Custom, Küschall and IVC, Top End is the only one that can be "tailor-made", from the frame type to the width of the footrest, and even support custom sizes. Its low-back style gives the upper body more room to move, which is suitable for those with strong upper limbs, but for the elderly or people with upper limb paralysis, it will not be enough support. The price of the product is 13,000-17,000 yuan.
 
Custom series for children, both sides of the frame mostly using the arc structure of the gravity linkage device, can correct the uneven weight distribution, for active children, the practicality is stronger than the simple size customization, the price is 12000-21000 yuan. In contrast, the flexibility of the Küschall series is average, only the seat length and backrest angle can be adjusted, but the price is also 12,000-23,000 yuan, which is less cost-effective. Due to the use of cheaper carbon steel materials, the price of the IVC series has dropped to less than 10,000 yuan, but the carbon steel is not only bulky, but also easy to rust, and the performance of the product in convenience and durability is not good.
 
In the case of an electric wheelchair, if the frame is the skeleton, the controller is its heart. The speed control button can adjust the speed of the motor by controlling the duty cycle of the rectangular pulse, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the speed. The quality of the controller is mainly reflected in the steering sensitivity and start-stop sensitivity, and the steering is a product with high sensitivity, which responds quickly, acts flexibly and is easy to operate. In terms of start-stop speed, it is advisable to slow it down, otherwise it will bring too much rush or frustration. At present, Dynamic in New Zealand and PG in the United Kingdom have the absolute right to speak in wheelchair controllers, and there is no obvious difference in the performance of their products in terms of stability and sensitivity, but Dynamic is more powerful.
 
As the pioneer and largest supplier of wheelchair controllers, Dynamic has three series, Shark, DX/DX2 and LiNX, which are becoming more and more functional. Most of Inwellcom's electric wheelchairs are equipped with the most advanced LiNX controller, which not only supports seat adjustment and excellent comfort, but also has a color LCD screen for intuitive operation. At the same time, the system is easy to program and can be updated at any time, with a long service life, and the accompanying My LiNX app makes it easy for users to keep track of the status of their wheelchairs.
 
Both the Storm and TDX electric wheelchair series are designed with a "tank robot". The high weight and stability of the lower base ensure that the upper seat can be changed flexibly. Corresponding to the elbows, waist, knees and ankles, the seat can be infinitely adjusted at the above joints for the most suitable size and comfort. The 73.5Ah high-capacity battery has a range of up to 40 km. The price of the Storm series is as high as 4-50,000 yuan, and the TDX series is equipped with a headrest on the basis of the Storm, and adopts the same mid-wheel drive of the Prader, which is more flexible in action, and the price is also increased by about 5,000 yuan.
 
It should be noted that due to the policy of the Trump administration, Inwellcom closed its Suzhou factory in 2017 and shifted its business to North America and Europe, which is inconvenient for domestic consumers to purchase and after-sales. If you need to order, you can enter the country and zip code on the official website to check the surrounding supplier information.
