Quality and safety
All wheelchairs are designed and built to meet and surpass all relevant ISO and EN standards and have been crash tested and approved for use as seating in motor vehicles with Dalh restraints . All upholstery has been treated to meet fire-resistant standards.
Versatile cushioning
Our cushioning series ensures support and comfort exactly where needed, and includes if required individually-designed anti-thrust, wedged, ramped and channeled seat cushions. All seat cushioning has memory foam topers on high density foam with in-built ventilation, and all cushioning can be supplied with incontinence lining.
Accesories
We are offering a wide range of accessories that can be used to create the exact amount of functionality and support needed by the user. These include additional remotes and modules such as attendant remotes, sip ’n’ puff, finger steering and switch inputs as well as headrests, thoracic supports, hip guides, pommels, trays and pushing handles.
Modular construction
The unique modular construction system means that all seating systems and wheel bases are interchangeable. This allows a client to start off with a manual version of our wheelchair and upgrade to a fully powered indoor/outdoor wheelchair by changing the base only. This means continued use of their current seating system and moving it to a power base for a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new chair.
