Drive Multitec Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair with Drum Brakes

Advanced Comfort and Unmatched Attendant Safety With enhanced postural support capabilities, a standard wheelchair is often not enough. True comfort comes from a chair that can be perfectly adapted to the user’s body and allows for regular, easy repositioning. The Drive Multitec Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair is a highly advanced mobility solution, engineered to provide exceptional postural support, pressure comfort, and a level of safety that gives both user and attendant complete stability. It’s a chair designed not just for mobility, but for practical comfort and care. Ultimate Pressure Comfort with Tilt-in-Space The core feature of the Multitec is its superb gas-strut operated Tilt-in-Space functionality. With the simple press of a lever on the push handle, an attendant can smoothly and effortlessly adjust the seat angle. This is complemented by a multi-position recline function. This ability to regularly change the user’s position is crucial for redistributing pressure, which helps to maintain comfort and prevent the development of pressure sores, supporting the user’s long-term health. Enhanced Safety with Attendant Drum Brakes This version of the Multitec is equipped with powerful, attendant-operated drum brakes. Controlled via levers on the push handles, these brakes allow a helper to securely manage speed and stop securely, especially when navigating slopes, ramps, or uneven ground. While the attendant has this enhanced control, the user retains ease of use, using the hand rims for self-propulsion and speed control, and has access to their own set of push-to-lock parking brakes for security when stationary. This chair is also available in a version with standard parking brakes only. Fully Adaptable for a Personalised Fit The Multitec is designed to be tailored to the individual. It is available in three different seat widths (39cm, 44cm, and 49cm) to ensure a perfect fit. Beyond the seat size, it offers a wealth of adjustment options, including a height-adjustable backrest, adjustable seat depth, and height-adjustable armrests. This high degree of adaptability allows the chair to be configured for optimal posture, comfort, and long-term use.
