Advanced Comfort and Unmatched Attendant Safety

For individuals with complex postural needs, a standard wheelchair is often not enough. True comfort and well-being come 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 relief, and a level of safety that gives both user and attendant complete peace of mind. It’s a chair designed not just for mobility, but for clinical comfort and care.

Ultimate Pressure Relief 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 prevent discomfort and the development of pressure sores, enhancing 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 carer to confidently manage speed and stop securely, especially when navigating slopes, ramps, or uneven ground. While the attendant has this enhanced control, the user retains their independence, 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.

For users who do not require attendant-operated drum brakes, a version of the Multitec is also available 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.
