Sunrise Medical unveils two new enhancements to its Quickie Q700 powered wheelchairs
Wheelchair manufacturer Sunrise Medical has announced two enhancements to its Quickie Q700 M and Q700-UP M power wheelchairs: the ProGrip suspension and the 50 degree posterior and 30 degree anterior tilt module.
The cutting-edge features aim to elevate the Quickie Q700 power wheelchair, further enhancing its impact on the rider’s tolerance, positioning, health, and safety for overall increased functional outcomes.
At the forefront of these advancements is the ProGrip suspension system, which has undergone a complete redesign to deliver reliability without compromising performance. Featuring a robust coil-over-shock design, the new suspension system ensures a smoother and safer ride.
The Quickie Q700 M combines exceptional indoor maneuverability with excellent outdoor performance. With approximately 7″ of articulation in the caster arms, this power wheelchair promises to glide over rough terrains while maintaining a smooth ride.
Additionally, the Sedeo Pro Advanced seating system, available on both Q700 models, introduces the 50 degree posterior and 30 degree anterior tilt module. The anterior tilt can assist with positioning for easier and safer standing and sliding transfers as well as pressure management.
Moreover, it claims to facilitate eye contact, simplifies reaching for everyday tasks, and further augments the overall functionality of the power chair.
Jeff Rogers, Director of Product Management, Power, at Sunrise Medical, commented: “Sunrise Medical is committed to continuously improving the lives of our clients, and we are proud to introduce these remarkable upgrades to the Quickie Q700 power wheelchairs.
“The new ProGrip suspension system and the advanced tilt module are a testament to our dedication to providing unparalleled driving experiences and elevating the standard of power mobility.”
