concept called Personal Product

Matching (PPM), which means that the
highly versatile Infinity cushions are designed
to meet not only an individual's clinical needs,
but also accommodate personal seating
preferences and lifestyle needs. The cushions
offer three choices of pressure reduction
support media combined with three contour
choices, providing high-end skin protection
and excellent support and positioning.

Invacare®DualFlex™10/UniBack™10

• Infinity™DualFlex™10 and UniBack™10 are formed

by two distinct support panels: the sacral panel
and the thoracic panel (available in short 14",
regular 16" or tall 19" heights)

• UniBack10 panels attach with a solid plate,

creating a single, straight back support

• DualFlex10 panels attach with a biangular

hinge, allowing adjustability to accommodate
an infinite range of body positions - lordotic
through kyphotic

• DualFlex10 hinges incorporate an elastomer,

providing dynamic “flex”to provide ease of
upper-body mobility, facilitating wheelchair
propulsion and helping prevent sliding due to
tone

three sizes (small, medium and large) the
flexibility to fit nine wheelchair widths 14" to 22"
