Karma MVP 502 Reclining Wheelchair

The reclining wheelchair MVP 502 (KM-5000.2) allows the wheelchair user to lie back and relieve pressure from the hips. Unfortunately, sliding is a common problem with reclining wheelchairs. Whenever the wheelchair reclines or returns to an upright position, the user’s back slides against the back of wheelchair, creating a shearing action. It is not only uncomfortable but may lead to skin breakdown and pressure sores.

In addition to poor positioning and less stability, sliding puts the user at risk of falling off and sustaining injuries. The innovative anti-sliding design of the MVP 502 effectively prevents the wheelchair user from sliding on the chair.

Articulating Legrest

The articulating legrest extends in length as it elevates, allowing the leg to extend freely and thus easing pressure on the knee.

Anti-sliding V-seating System

The V-shaped seat slopes downwards at a 20 degree angle near the backrest to help reduce forward sliding and pressure sores.
This significantly reduces shearing between the user’s back and the back of the wheelchair and the need for the attendant to reposition the user.

Hydraulic Pressure Support System

The MVP 502’s reclining system is composed of two hydraulic gas springs that provide a smooth and controlled motion. They minimize shock and stabilise the reclining speed. The attendant can also lift the wheelchair user back to an upright position with greater efficiency.

Foldable Push-bar

Attached to the push handles of the wheelchair, the push-bar makes it easy to push and maneuver the wheelchair with just one hand and at the same time reinforces the structure of the wheelchair.

It also helps alleviate the pain and fatigue that comes from pushing a wheelchair. There is no need to detach because it folds with the wheelchair for easy storage and transportation.
