The TDX SP2 power wheelchair base builds on several of Invacare’s core patented technologies, including SureStep® suspension, Stability Lock and G-Trac tracking technology, which ensure smooth driving and maneuverability. The Ultra Low Maxx power positioning from Invacare’s Motion Concepts subsidiary creates a highly adjustable, modular system, which allows providers and therapists to create a seating, positioning and driving experience that delivers comfort and support for the end user. Developed by incorporating extensive user insights, LiNX Technology is available across a full lineup of drive controls, ranging from simple drive-only remotes (REM110) to a remote with a sleek, Enhanced Rehabilitation Touch Screen (REM400) or Standalone Display Module (REM500).
