Invacare®A4™/ A4™Titanium Wheelchairs
The Bead Blast A4 Titanium rigid wheelchair shown has tapered front end and the
Lightweight Shock Stopper™(LSS) suspension option. Invacare’s LSS suspension package
makes the A4 and A4 Titanium with full suspension option the lightest-in-class.
Frog Legs®front suspension forks absorb initial impact slowing vibration before it gets to
the user.
LSS dual rear shocks absorb energy independently for added stability.
Full Suspension – Less than 1 lb.
Only Invacare offers a full suspension option on
a rigid chair that adds less than one pound to the
weight of the chair. The Lightweight Shock Stopper
(LSS) suspension package developed by Invacare
and Frog Legs Inc. includes the popular Frog Legs®
front suspension forks and exclusively-designed
elastomer rear shocks.
Your Perception Will Change Forever!
The Invacare Lightweight Shock Stopper™(LSS)
suspension option is like no other suspension
package available. It’s a lightweight, tuned system
that balances shock absorption with performance.
Finally, consumers can get a comfortable ride
AND the performance they demand from a
rigid chair.
Clinical Benefits of Suspension
Decreased Pain Elastomer shocks absorb the
vibration reducing the impact of jolts on the body
during the ride and transfers.
Decreased Reflexive Spasms Suspension
reduces “quick stretch” during jolts and helps
prevent consumer from pulling out of position.
Improved Stability Elastomer shocks help
prevent consumer from getting jostled around
when the wheelchair rolls over rougher terrain.
Greater Comfort and Endurance Reduces
muscle contraction on rougher terrain allowing
for a more comfortable ride and greater
endurance.
