This <strong>standard folding wheelchair<\/strong> It can be used by the elderly, people in recovery, users with walking difficulties or people who cannot travel longer distances without help.<\/p>\n<p>The model has a fixed backrest, which provides a stable and simple position for basic use. For users who need advanced postural adjustments, tilt or recline, a different type of wheelchair may be required, but for standard use, transportation and daily travel, the 708D is a practical solution.<\/p>\n<p>The chair can be used both for self-propulsion, using training hoops, and for assisted movement by an attendant. The choice of use depends on the user&#039;s arm strength, coordination, balance, and level of independence.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pliabil\">Foldable design and quick-release rear wheels<\/h3>\n<p>A major advantage of the Vermeiren 708D is its foldable structure. The frame can be folded up for transport or storage, which helps when the chair needs to be put in the trunk, stored in a smaller space, or moved between home, clinic, and rehabilitation centers.<\/p>\n<p>The Quick-release rear wheels can be removed more easily, which reduces the volume of the product during transport. For families, caregivers or healthcare professionals, this feature can make a difference when the wheelchair needs to be lifted, stored or prepared for travel.<\/p>\n<p>The technical manual indicates a folded width of approximately 280 mm and a folded length without footrests of approximately 805 mm. Before purchasing, these dimensions should be compared with the trunk, lift, doors, hallways and available storage space.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"confort\">Comfort, armrests and footrests<\/h3>\n<p>The Vermeiren 708D is equipped with foldable and removable armrests, which are provided with soft, extra long and comfortable padding. The armrests can be raised or removed for lateral transfer, which is useful when the user transfers from the wheelchair to a bed, armchair, commode or other surface.<\/p>\n<p>The aluminum leg supports contribute to the user&#039;s comfort and can be adjusted according to the length of the lower limbs. Correct adjustment of the supports is important for knee position, thigh support and avoiding unnecessary pressure while sitting.<\/p>\n<p>The seat and backrest fabric is designed for daily use. For additional comfort, depending on the user&#039;s needs, an anti-decubitus cushion, a positioning cushion or other accessories recommended by the specialist can be added.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"manevrabilitate\">Indoor and outdoor maneuverability<\/h3>\n<p>This <strong>standard folding wheelchair<\/strong> can be used indoors and outdoors, on flat, stable and safe surfaces. Indoors, it can be used in homes, medical centers, clinics, rehabilitation centers or care institutions. Outdoors, it is recommended for accessible sidewalks, landscaped walkways and areas free of dangerous obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>The 24&quot; rear wheels allow for self-propulsion, and the approximately 200 mm front wheels help with maneuverability. The minimum turning radius indicated in the manual is approximately 1619 mm, a value that must be taken into account in narrow spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The Vermeiren 708D is not recommended for rough terrain, sand, mud, ice, steep slopes, high curbs or very slippery surfaces. For frequent use on difficult trails, a model with different wheels, suspension or configuration may be required.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"siguranta\">Safety, brakes and transfer<\/h3>\n<p>The wheelchair brakes must be used for parking and transferring. Before the user sits down or stands up, the brakes must be locked and the footrests must be raised or removed to avoid tripping.<\/p>\n<p>The Vermeiren manual recommends checking the brakes before each use. The operation of the brakes can be affected by wear or contamination of the tires with water, oil, mud or dust. If the brakes do not hold properly, the chair should be checked before use.<\/p>\n<p>This <strong>standard folding wheelchair<\/strong> It is intended for the transport of one person, not for the transport of heavy objects. For safety, the user must sit with their back as close as possible to the backrest, and the lower limbs must be correctly positioned on the footrests.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"specificatii\">Technical specifications Vermeiren 708D<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Exemplary<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Vermeiren 708D \/ 708D_v2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Product type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Standard folding wheelchair \/ standard manual wheelchair<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Recommended use<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Indoors and outdoors, on flat, stable and accessible surfaces<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Recommended user<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Elderly people, people with walking difficulties, people without the ability to walk independently or users in recovery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Maximum user weight<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>120 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Available seat widths<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>390 \/ 420 \/ 440 \/ 460 \/ 480 \/ 500 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Total width<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 560 \/ 590 \/ 610 \/ 630 \/ 650 \/ 670 mm, depending on seat width<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Total length with footrests<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 1109 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Folded length without footrests<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 805mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Folded width<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 280mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Folded height<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 910mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Total weight<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 18 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Mass of the heaviest component<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 10.10 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Removable components<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Footrests approx. 1.90 kg; armrests approx. 1.85 kg; rear wheels approx. 4.15 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Seat depth<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 430mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Seat height at front edge<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 490mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Seat angle<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 4\u00b0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>back<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Fixed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Backrest angle<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 4\u00b0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Backrest height<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 420mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Distance between footrest and seat<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 383 \u2013 458 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Armrest \u2013 seat distance<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 225mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Rear wheels<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>24\u201d, with Quick-release system<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Front wheels<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 200mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Driving circle diameter<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 535mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Minimum turning radius<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 1619 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Overcoming obstacle<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 60mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Static stability when descending<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 15\u00b0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Static stability when climbing<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 15\u00b0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Static lateral stability<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approximately 15\u00b0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Armrests<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Foldable and removable, with soft padding and locking system<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Footrests<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Made of aluminum, adjustable and removable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>BRAKES<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Hand brakes for parking<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Maximum pressure pneumatic rear wheels<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Max. 3.5 bar, if the product is configured with pneumatic wheels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Maximum pressure for pneumatic front wheels<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Max. 2.5 bar, if the product is configured with pneumatic wheels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Usage\/storage temperature<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>+5\u00b0C to +41\u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Usage\/storage humidity<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>30% \u2013 70%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Brandi<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Vermeiren<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Observation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Technical data may have measurement tolerances and may vary depending on seat width, wheels, options, accessories and final configuration.

For the Vermeiren 708D, choosing the correct seat width is essential.<\/p>\n<p>A seat that is too narrow can create lateral pressure and discomfort. A seat that is too wide can reduce postural stability and make self-propulsion difficult. For this reason, the seat width should be chosen based on the user&#039;s measurements, not just their weight or height.<\/p>\n<p>You should also check the seat depth, backrest height, footrest position, overall width of the chair, and available space in your home. If the product needs to be transported frequently, the folded width, total weight, and Quick-release wheels are important details.<\/p>\n<p>If the user needs a standard, stable and easy-to-use model, the 708D may be a practical choice.
