Anti-rollback Device for Invacare Tracer EX2 or SX5 Wheelchairs

This popular fall‑prevention device is specifically designed for the Invacare Tracer EX2 and (non‑reclining) SX5 manual wheelchairs, delivering targeted protection against backward rolling when a user stands or transfers. Engineered for compatibility, durability, and seamless integration into clinical and home care settings.
 
Key Features & Benefits:
Therapist-Informed Design: Crafted with clinical insight to prevent unintended rearward movement while allowing normal forward mobility.
Tailored Compatibility: Optimised for the Tracer EX2 and SX5 (non-reclining) models, fitting any width chair, any axle height, with permanent or removable arms.
Discreet & Non-Restrictive: Integrates cleanly into the chair frame without interfering with collapsing or transport.
Temporary Override Handles: Features caregiver-assist handles that allow the unoccupied chair to be rolled backward and quickly folded for transport or storage.
Universal Cushion Use: Compatible with any seat cushion or pad.
Quick Installation: Installs in 10 simple steps using basic tools.
Durable Construction: Made of chrome-plated carbon steel, stainless steel, and glass-filled polycarbonate plastic for long-term use.
 
Ideal For:
Care settings (home, assisted‑living, rehab) where users may forget to set manual brakes before standing.
Wheelchair users with limited trunk or lower‑limb control who require added stability during transfers.
Therapists and caregivers looking for a retrofit accessory that enhances safety without altering the wheelchair’s basic function.
 
Important Notes – Functional Use:
When the occupant’s weight is on the seat, the device is in standby mode and wheelchair moves freely. When the user begins to stand or lift weight off the seat, brake arms engage the tires to prevent backward motion.
Override handles below the hand grips allow caregivers to move the unoccupied chair backward safely.
 
Why Choose It:
Our Anti‑Rollback Device for Tracer EX2 and SX5 (non-reclining) builds upon Safe-t mate®’s legacy of mobility safety devices, offering a purpose‑built solution for one of the more widely used manual wheelchair models. It supports independence, enhances safety during critical transfer moments, and reduces the risk of roll‑back falls — all without compromising normal chair function.
