Pronto®Air Personal Transporter w/ MyBody™ Seating
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to
supply a wide variety of wheelchairs to meet many needs
of the end user. However, final selection of the type of
wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the
user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making
such a selection. Invacare highly recommends working with
a certified rehab technology supplier and/or a member of
NRRTS or RESNA.
