The Invacare®InTouch™Propel™ Back, the general
purpose back support so lightweight and comfortable
consumers will forget it’s there. Hardware installation is
no longer a hassle: just grab it, set it and go. The rigid shell
coupled with a soft contoured foam cushion provides
gentle support and facilitates postural symmetry. The
Propel provides a stable surface for propulsion and
completion of daily living activities. Consumers will leave
ordinary back upholstery in the past when they try the
new InTouch Propel.

The Invacare®InTouch™Stabilite™seat cushion was
developed to provide pelvic stability and leg positioning for
patients with postural asymmetry. The Stabilite comes fitted
with a ThinAir™liner, a unique comfort layer that assists in
redistributing peak pressures away from bony prominences.
The Invacare®InTouch™Flovair™seat cushion was
developed to provide pelvic stability, leg positioning and
pressure management for patients with postural asymmetry
and skin integrity concerns. It incorporates a fluid overlay
used in tandem with the ThinAir™liner. This allows for pelvic
immersion while minimizing overall product weight. The
insert’s unique channeling method limits the amount of fluid
migration, thus decreasing the chances for “bottoming out.”
The Flovair is a great choice for neuromuscular, TBI or SCI
clients without significant obliquity.

Functional Benefits
Supports the pelvis and thighs; helps to prevent adduction and
internal rotation
Effectively redistributes pressure without weight penalty.
Additional shear reduction as two layers work in
harmony.
Contour choices based on involvement level
The larger the surface area, the lower the
pressure. Our engineers put purpose behind the
contouring of the InTouch base to mimic the
shape of the seated human body. Leg troughs
are slightly abducted. Soft foam envelops the
IT’s, coccyx and sacrum. Firmer foam supports
the trochanters while preventing hammocking.
Smooth, refined transitions are sculpted to
replace steep ridges or uncomfortably placed
abductors.
If the base isn’t right, then nothing else matters!

Technology
Invacare®InTouch™TargIT™ is the industry standard for consumers who require moderate skin protection and positioning. The
large, anatomically-shaped pelvic surface of the InTouch cushion eliminates the guesswork of placing a consumer in contact with
pressure-relieving material. The construction of the InTouch TargIT incorporates an exclusive Blend2™foam molding technology
that fuses the polyurethane base foam with visco-elastic pressure-relieving foam to eliminate transitional edges, providing worry-
free fit and comfort.
