Invacare Corporation (NYSE: IVC) today announced the global
launch of the Invacare® TDX® SP2 Power Wheelchair with LiNX®
Technology and Motion Concepts Ultra Low Maxx Positioning
System.
The TDX SP2 power wheelchair is the newest Invacare-branded
power wheelchair offering in North America building on the
long-standing heritage of the leading TDX family of power
wheelchairs. It is available for order immediately. In North
America, the company will build this product at its Taylor Street
manufacturing facility in Elyria, Ohio. For European customers, the
product will be assembled in Germany.
“The highly anticipated launch of the TDX SP2 power wheelchair
is the biggest sign yet of our reinvigorated product pipeline, and
our focus on bringing increasingly novel solutions for clinically
complex needs,” said Matthew E. Monaghan, chairman, president and
chief executive officer. “Our rehab sales team is armed with great
solutions to address a broad range of end-user and provider needs.
The TDX SP2 with LiNX technology should help enable long-term
revenue growth for the company and allow our customers to provide
great service cost-effectively, all while improving the quality of
life for end users.”
Monaghan continued, “The TDX SP2 with LiNX technology is like
having the first smart phone in the industry. This is revolutionary
technology that allows high-end complex rehabilitation needs to be
met with exceptional functionality and ease of use. The LiNX
electronics system includes a touch screen display, wireless
programming, and remote monitoring for better clinical evaluations,
easy, intuitive programming and great connected functionality for
providers.”
The TDX SP2 power wheelchair base builds on several of
Invacare’s core patented technologies, including SureStep®
suspension, Stability Lock and G-Trac™ tracking technology, which
ensure smooth driving and maneuverability. The Ultra Low Maxx power
positioning from Invacare’s Motion Concepts subsidiary creates a
highly adjustable, modular system, which allows providers and
therapists to create a seating, positioning and driving experience
that delivers comfort and support for the end user. Developed by
incorporating extensive user insights, LiNX Technology is available
across a full lineup of drive controls, ranging from simple
drive-only remotes (REM110) to a remote with a sleek, Enhanced
Rehabilitation Touch Screen (REM400) or Standalone Display Module
(REM500).
