Quickie IRIS Tilt Wheelchair
Quickie has developed a dramatic new approach to tilting in space. It's called the Quickie IRIS (Intelligent Rotation In Space).
Unlike systems that incorporate a fixed pivot-point, dual pivot-point, or linear element, the Quickie IRIS' rotational design is based on the idea of rotating the seat-frame around a user's center-of-gravity. This, combined with up to 60 of posterior rotation and hi-resolution adjustment, provides the ultimate in control, maneuverability, and stability.
- The ultimate tilt-in-space wheelchair, the Quickie IRIS Manual Tilt Wheelchair features up to 55 ° of Intelligent Rotation in Space Technology, the broadest range of positioning and caregiver options, numerous adjustments, and it's one of the lightest tilt-in-space wheelchairs available today
Rotation-In-Space
Instead of tilting the seat frame from an outside pivot-point the Quickie ® IRIS™ actually rotates the seat frame around the users centre-of-gravity. This rotational system provides the shortest possible wheelbase without compromising stability. It also insures a smooth and controlled rotation.

The 60 ° & 40 ° Tilt Advantage
The Quickie ® IRIS™ features three tilt ranges: -5 ° to 50 °, 0 ° to 55 °, and 5 ° to 60 ° on the standard 55 ° seat frame, and -5 ° to 35 °, 0 ° to 40 °, and 5 ° to 45 ° on the 40 ° seat frame. As the seat frame rotates past 45 °, a significant amount of pressure transfers from the seat to the back. By providing up to 60 ° of tilt, the IRIS insures that the majority of pressure is removed from the ischial tuberosities. For individuals who only need positioning relief, the 40 ° tilt frame is ideal.
Low Seat-To-Floor Height
The Quickie Iris now features a 12 1/2"³ front seat-to-floor height. Using a drop seat, this distance can be lowered to an even lower 10 ½" seat-to-floor height. Low seat-to-floor height is critical for users who use foot propulsion.

Wheelchair Measuring Guide
Wheelchair Measurements:
- Hip Width:
Use this to figure seat width if it is the widest point. - Widest Point:
Measure the widest area across the lower extremities if different from the hip width. This may influence seat width or arm style. - Chest Width:
Measure the widest point of the thorax just below the armpit. This measurement may influence system width or back width. - Heel to Knee:
Use this for legrest extensions and seat height. - SRP to Knee (Seat Reference Point to Knee):
This will determine the seat depth. - Elbow to SRP (Elbow to Seat Reference Point):
Measure this width with the arm in a 90-degree angle at the elbow and the shoulder in a neutral position. - Shoulder Height:
This will determine the height and the style of the back panel or the start for a custom back. - Head Height:
This will help determine the proper headrest height.
