Karma Medical gets set to launch its new paediatric wheelchair at Rehacare 2022
Mobility solution manufacturer Karma Medical is getting set to present its new paediatric wheelchair at Rehacare 2022 in Dusseldorf this month.
The Flexx Adapt is a highly adjustable paediatric wheelchair that grows with the child to provide a safe, supportive, and comfortable wheelchair experience.
The wheelchair represents a new standard for paediatric positioning products, according to Karma, with the fully adjustable and configurable seating system ensuring a comfortable and supportive fit throughout childhood.
A new patented shock-absorbing seating system-dynamic backrest has been specially designed for children with hypertonia to manage muscle tone, increase comfort, and prevent hypertonia impact injuries.
Flexx Adapt combines tilt and recline functions to help the user achieve an almost horizontal trunk position to redistribute pressure from the hip bones.
Its innovative spring system reduces sudden movements when operating the tilt and recline functions, significantly improving the users’ comfort and sense of security during postural changes.
Also, it features various caregivers and user-friendly designs, such as an adjustable stroller handle, drum brakes, 4D adjustable footplates, and medical-grade Dartex® upholstery.
The adaptive seating system allows a wide range of accessory options for the ultimate personalisation.
The back panel’s slide-slot design and side rail technology facilitate the addition of different headrests, armrests, and supports.
According to Karma Medical, the new wheelchair is crash-test approved and easy to store and transport.
Flexx Adapt will be officially distributed in the market in the first quarter of 2023.
Mark Duffield, General Manager for Karma Mobility, which has the exclusive rights to distribute Karma Medical products in the UK and Ireland, commented: “We are very excited to be previewing new products this year at Rehacare this year. Dealers can contact Mike Clipsom on 07483 941 505 or via email at mike@karmamobility.co.uk after the show to see the new products.”
Flexx Adapt, together with other Flexx family wheelchairs, will be showcased by Karma Medical in Hall 6 on Stand B51 at Rehacare 2022 in Dusseldorf, Germany from 14-17 September 2022.
