Karma VIP 2 Tilt and Recline Transit Wheelchair

The VIP 2 is a Tilt in Space, which helps reduce the risk of developing pressure ulcer and prevent discomfort associated with prolonged sitting. The weight shifting system provides a steady smooth recline and a sense of security for the user when reclining. Sliding is a major concern of a standard reclining chair. Sliding creates shearing between the user’s back and back of the wheelchair and poor positioning. The VIP 2 solves this problem by locating the reclining pivot point of the chair and bringing the user’s hip joint closer to it. This placement synchronises the motion of the body and the chair and minimizes the sliding and the shearing when reclining or sitting upright. Unlike conventional wheelchairs, the backrest uses adjustable velcro straps to change the tension and conform according to the wheelchair user. This helps prevent slouching and the hammock effect. The armrest is fully detachable and offers greater convenience transferring on and off the wheelchair. Easy swing-away footrests, which allows for easy transfer, on and off the wheelchair and detaches with no tools required. The upholstery is treated with Aegis Microbe Shield, which is approved by the FDA, EPA, EU, etc. The anti-microbial upholstery inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, eliminates odour and is designed for easy cleaning. Change the upholstery as the season change to match the warm or cold weather. It is a shield for your health. The tilt-only chair is equipped with Angle Adjustable Backrest: -5°/ 0°/ 5°/ 10°/ 15°. It is also designed to be compatible with aftermarket backrest manufacturers, such as Jay and Matrix. Select from the options available to customize your seat. The back height is available in two sizes: 49cm or 54cm. The seat to floor height is available in two sizes: 49cm (7 in” castor wheels) or 46.5cm (6 in” castor wheels). The anti-tip prevents the wheelchair from tipping back. The VIP 2 is approved for transportation in accordance with ISO 7176-19.
