Product overview
What This Product Is And Who It Is For
A folding manual wheelchair for patients with limited mobility and for carers moving patients between wards, vehicles and home rooms. The frame folds so it fits in a car boot and in ward storage, the seat is 46cm wide at a 50cm seat height, and a united brake locks both rear wheels from a single action. Loading capacity is 100kg and the chair uses 58cm wheels front and rear.
Problems It Solves
- Rigid wheelchairs cannot be carried in a family car, so this frame folds
- Chairs with separate brake levers roll during transfers, which the united brake prevents
- Facilities lose storage space to bulky chairs, so folded dimensions are kept compact
- Powered chairs need charging and maintenance that a general ward cannot provide, so propulsion stays manual
Who It Is For
- Hospital and clinic procurement departments
- Nursing home and elderly care operators
- Medical equipment distributors and rental fleets
- Home care buyers supporting a family member
- Rehabilitation centres needing transport chairs
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose It
- Folding frame fits a car boot, so families can take a patient to appointments without a transport service
- United brake locks the chair from one action, which is safer during transfers than two separate levers
- 100kg loading capacity covers the majority of adult patients in general ward and home care use
- 46cm seat width and 50cm seat height suit standard adult transfers from a ward bed
- Manual propulsion needs no charging, so the chair is always available in a ward corridor
- Compact folded dimensions reduce the storage space a facility has to allocate per chair
