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 innovative backrest also loosens to provide comfort in recline and tightens for support in the upright position.

The Etac Prio comes with an optional 'comfort tilt lock', whereby the tilt automatically stops at a pre-set angle to ensure the person is not seated in a ‘too upright’ position. There are four alternative settings (0°, 4°, 8° or 12°) to choose from on the Prio Prescription Form. Choose one position that is frequently used, for activity or rest. The dynamic pelvic support is only one example of Prio´s innovative functions that improve sitting tolerance over time. Through supportive and shaping efforts, it can improve the user’s ability to be active and mobile. Also, by changing the seat and back angles and adjusting the elevating leg supports, body position and pressure points can be altered. The Etac Prio focuses on the concept of "ability-based seating" and provides surprising comfort, whilst being well-balanced and easy to operate. The Prio is made to provide rest - without sacrificing mobility. Standard inclusions: Dynamic Pelvic Support: Height-adjustable pelvic strap for precise seating. Reclining will automatically reduce the tension. Traditional Head Support: Includes a turtle stem that is height-, depth- and sideways adjustable. The head support can also be positioned in front of the trunk. Attendant Hand Brake: With an anti-slip handle cover and 10cm gap between the handle grip and brake lever. Seat Cushion with Hygiene Cover: Comfortable seat with a wipeable, machine washable, water-repellent hygiene cover. Elevating Leg Support: Swing-away and detachable with calf support which is height and depth-adjustable. Push Handles: Height-adjustable and detachable handles with an anti-slip cover. Novis provides the Etac Prio in a standard configuration as a Transit or Self-Propelled model however it can be fully customised to fit the user’s needs and requirements as a scripted chair. The Etac Prio should be adapted and adjusted by a trained healthcare professional.
