Etac Prio Multi-Functional Wheelchair
A comfort wheelchair with tilt-in-space and unique innovations.
The Etac Prio is the only multi-functional wheelchair that offers a dynamic pelvic support. A support that deactivates while resting and reactivates in the active position.
The dynamic pelvic support is only one example of Prio´s innovative functions that improve sitting tolerance over time. By supportive and shaping efforts you can improve the users ability to be active and mobile.
The Prio wheelchair achieves a high level of comfort through it’s dynamic features. By changing the seat and back angles and adjusting the elevating leg supports, you can vary body position and pressure points.
The support is dynamic
The pelvic strap is height adjustable for precise setting. Reclining the back will automatically reduce the strap tension and retighten when the back is brought to an upright position. The ideal combination for activity and resting.
Sculpture the shape
Start by setting the height. The back support is contoured by adjusting the straps. The protecting shields distribute the pressure and the soft back cushion will be perfectly sculptured.
The head support is soft
The Soft head support really deserves its name. Shaped in soft foam it allows the user´s head to sink in. Height and depth adjustable and equipped with a memory function to ensure correct adjustment.
Activity is as important as resting
Narrow wheel assembly (total width), low product weight and premium balancing options are features making Prio users more active and mobile.

Back support height
A kyphotic back often requires a lower back height. The Prio 3D back support can be adjusted from 45 to 60 cm.
Traditional head support
The head can be positioned in front of the trunk. This puts demands on the depth adjustment of the head support.
Dynamic pelvic support
The users´s back must be supported from the pelvic area and up. The dynamic pelvic support is just as important for a user with a kyphotic back since it enables pelvic and spinal variations.
