Advanced Comfort and Control, Perfectly Tailored to You
The Drive Multitec Steel Wheelchair is engineered to provide both clinical postural support and genuine, all-day comfort. It’s more than just a mobility device; it’s a highly adaptable seating environment designed to enhance well-being, promote convenient self-operation, and provide superior comfort and security, hour after hour.
Engineered for Personalised Pressure Relief
The core of the Multitec’s design is its advanced tilt-in-space and recline functionality. These features allow you to effortlessly change your position, shifting pressure points to reduce fatigue and minimise the risk of pressure sores. The backrest reclines smoothly from a 90° upright position to 120°, while the seat provides a -3° to 36° tilt. This dynamic adjustability, easily controlled from the attendant push handles, ensures optimal weight distribution and superior comfort for prolonged periods of sitting.
Full Control at Your Fingertips
The Multitec is a true self-propel wheelchair, designed to give the user maximum control. You dictate your own pace and momentum using the large, ergonomic hand rims. For slowing down on declines or controlling your speed, you use the hand rims to apply friction, just as with a standard self-propelled chair. For complete security when stationary, the user has direct access to powerful push-to-lock parking brakes, ensuring the chair will not move during transfers or when parked.
Adaptable Support That Fits Your Life
The Multitec is built to conform to your unique body shape and specific requirements. Every key component is designed for maximum adjustability. The backrest height can be altered, the seat depth can be modified, and the padded, multi-positional headrest ensures perfect neck and head support. Furthermore, the long, curved armrests are padded for comfort and can be quickly detached to facilitate smooth and easy side transfers, giving you greater ease of movement.
Need Attendant-Operated Drum Brakes? For situations where an attendant will be navigating steep slopes or ramps, a version of this wheelchair is available with integrated drum brakes. These are operated from the push handles and provide the attendant with superior braking power and control. You can find this model here: Drive Multitec Steel Wheelchair With Drum Brakes.
