Product benefits Wheelchair D200 30°

Wheelchair D200 30° offers a practical combination of mobility, comfort and positioning. It is a manual model suitable for users who need an easy-to-maneuver wheelchair, but also the ability to recline the backrest for rest. This feature differentiates it from a standard wheelchair and makes it suitable for people who spend more time in the chair.

An important advantage is the backrest that can be tilted up to 30°. Adjusting the backrest allows the user to move from a more upright position, recommended for movement and daily activities, to a more relaxed position, suitable for rest. For patients who tire easily, for the elderly or for users who need to change positions during the day, this feature can increase comfort.

The fully foldable design is another essential benefit. Wheelchair D200 30° It can be folded for transport or storage, making it useful in homes, medical offices, nursing homes, or for traveling by car. A folding wheelchair is easier to manage when space is limited.

The foldable and removable armrests help with lateral transfers and getting closer to a bed, sofa, car seat or table. The foldable and removable footrests also contribute to safer transfers and easier transport. These details make the product practical for both the user and the caregiver.

Wheelchair D200 30° It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use on flat, accessible surfaces. It can be manually propelled by the user, if they have the necessary strength and control, or it can be pushed by a companion using the integrated handles and push bar.

Backrest tilts up to 30°

The reclining backrest is the main feature of this model. Wheelchair D200 30° allows the backrest to be tilted in 4 positions, in steps of approximately 10°, up to a maximum of 30°. This function offers the user more flexibility and allows the position to be changed depending on activity, level of fatigue or need for rest.

In the upright position, the armchair is suitable for commuting, conversation, dining and daily activities. In the reclined position, the backrest can provide a more relaxed feel and contribute to the user's comfort during breaks.

The backrest adjustment should be done carefully by an attendant or trained personnel. The user should be seated in the chair, the brakes should be activated, and the chair should be positioned on a flat surface. Since the backrest tilt changes the center of gravity, it is important that the chair does not tip over and that the anti-tip system is used correctly.

Fully foldable design for transport

A folding wheelchair is easier to transport and store. Wheelchair D200 30° It has a fully foldable frame, making it suitable for users who travel, for caregivers who need to put it in the trunk, or for medical centers that need efficient storage.

Folding is done by lifting the seat, after folding or removing the footrests. After transport, the armchair must be properly unfolded and the seat tubes must be fixed in place. Before the user sits down, all components must be checked.

The compact design helps with use in tight spaces, but the final dimensions should be checked based on the chosen configuration. For homes with narrow doorways or small hallways, it is recommended to measure the space before purchasing.

Foldable and removable armrests

Armrests influence comfort, arm support, and lateral transfers. Wheelchair D200 30° It is equipped with foldable and removable armrests, which provides flexibility in daily use.

Folding armrests can make it easier to get close to a table or access from the side. Removable armrests can help with transfers from a bed, car seat, armchair or sofa. For people who need assistance with transfers, this feature can reduce caregiver effort and increase control of the maneuver.

Height and depth adjustable armrests allow you to tailor the support for your forearms. A well-adjusted armrest can reduce shoulder tension and help your torso position more naturally.

Foldable and removable footrests

Footrests are important for the user's stability while sitting. Wheelchair D200 30° includes foldable and removable footrests, useful for transfers, transport and storage.

During transfers, the footplates should be raised or the supports removed so that the user does not step on them. Supporting the body weight on the footplates may cause imbalance or damage to the components.

The position of the supports should be adjusted so that the soles of the feet are properly supported and the knees and hips are in a comfortable position. If the supports are too high or too low, joint strain or discomfort may occur during use.

Adjustments for individual adaptation

Wheelchair D200 30° is designed to adapt to the user, not the other way around. The model offers adjustment possibilities that can improve comfort, stability and safety. The seat height can be adjusted in 3 positions, and the armrests can be adjusted in height and depth.

Adjustments are important because each user has different sizes, postures, and needs. A proper seat height can help with transfers, table access, and proper foot positioning. A properly adjusted armrest can reduce shoulder fatigue and improve core stability.

For users who use the chair for several hours a day, it is also recommended to choose a suitable pillow. A suitable pillow can increase comfort and help distribute pressure. For people at risk of pressure sores, the choice of pillow should be made with medical advice.

Manual mobility indoors and outdoors

Wheelchair D200 30° It is a manual model, meaning it can be self-propelled by the user or pushed by an attendant. Users with upper limb strength can use the rear wheel drive rings, and people who need help can be moved using the push handles.

The integrated push bar provides better control for the attendant, especially when the backrest is reclined or when the user needs additional supervision. On flat surfaces, the chair can be used in homes, care centers, clinics and accessible public spaces.

Outdoors, the product should be used on firm, smooth and safe surfaces. It is not recommended to use on rough terrain, stairs, high curbs, sand, mud or slippery surfaces.

Safety, anti-tip and correct use

Safety is essential with a reclining wheelchair. Wheelchair D200 30° must be used according to the manufacturer's instructions and within the maximum weight limit of 130 kg. The product is intended for the transport of one person only and should not be used for the transport of objects.

For this model, the anti-tip system is very important. When the backrest is tilted, the center of gravity changes and the risk of imbalance may increase. Therefore, the anti-tip must be installed and lowered according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Before transfers, the brakes must be activated. Before adjusting the backrest, the chair must be on a flat surface and the user must be correctly positioned. Adjustments must not be made while moving.

Maintenance and periodic checks

For safe operation, Wheelchair D200 30° should be checked periodically. The wheels, brakes, frame, armrests, footrests, upholstery and backrest tilt mechanism should be inspected for wear, damage or mechanical play.

The brakes should properly lock the chair when it is stopped. The wheels should roll freely, without unusual noises, jerky movements or uneven wear. The backrest tilt system should work well, without deformation or jamming.

Cleaning is done with a damp cloth, without strong water jets and without abrasive substances. The upholstery must be kept clean and dry. If technical problems occur, the product must be checked by the distributor or qualified personnel.
