Etac Prio

Support that adapts through every stage

Prio is a tilt and recline wheelchair with a 3A back system for postural support. When individuals can no longer sit upright in a standard wheelchair, a tilt and recline wheelchair is often used to provide additional support to improve comfort and sitting tolerance. However, this can also result in an unnecessary increase in dependency on others. Unlike other tilt and recline wheelchairs, the Prio is designed to optimise activity based on individual ability providing the support and comfort needed every step of the way.

All that needed is the hip width to define the correct wheelchair size. The rest can be adjusted to fit the individual user´s needs. Prio gives more opportunities to create shape and support for the user to sit active/upright and for comfort and relief while resting. Work with adjustments and simple accessories to shape the wheelchair completely according to the user’s needs. Right now and tomorrow too as needs change.

With multiple configurations available, from active setups to electric tilt and recline, every Prio is built around the individual.

Facilitate ability, do not give up on it - With Prio, reach your positioning and activity goals.
