Description
A versatile, feature-rich, lightweight, folding wheelchair.
The sight of a wheelchair in virtually every medical environment in addition to their familiarity in daily life can make us forget what a fundamentally essential device it has been for decades. Although the basic principle in use has always been the same, nonetheless, it is an item that has developed and improved both in design and manufacture through innovation and modern manufacturing capability.
Relequip has extensive product knowledge of medical devices and has put this to good use in their selection of this item for their range. Manufactured by a specialist company, this product meets all CE certification and ISO: 13485 requirements. The extra thickness of the steel frame makes this one of the toughest self-propelled wheelchairs on the market. At the same time, the Relequip chair is neither heavy nor unwieldy, weighing in at only 19kg.
All the usual refinements are present, including pneumatic tyres on the large 24” spoked rear wheels to absorb bumps and make it easier to use on uneven surfaces. The smaller swivelling front wheels are manufactured from extra-strength solid polyurethane, designed to withstand the hard knocks often sustained when mounting kerbs, ramps, or other obstacles.
Fixed armrests, leg rests, flip-up footplates, and all the usual features are included in the design. In addition, the comfortable flame-resistant nylon seat and backrest reduce weight, and make for easy cleaning and maintenance. Other features include patient safety restraints, comfortable and supportive restraint straps for the legs.
At a very attractive price point for such an essential and well-constructed piece of medical furniture, the Relequip Self-Propelled Wheelchair offers a practical, long-lasting, well made, and economic proposition whether you are buying a chair for the first time, or replacing an older model.
