The Karman VIP2 Tilt-in-Space & Reclining Transport Wheelchair is the next generation in innovation and design for Tilt wheelchairs. The VIP2 series is a revolutionary tilt and recline transport wheelchair that weighs just 36 pounds in transport mode. This design of a wheelchair may be optimal for users who require a higher degree of pressure relief compared to your manual wheelchair.
The tilt and recline design allows for the user weight to be more evenly distributed on the entire body versus a standard wheelchair which can cause an immense load of pressure on the lower back, which can then lead to pressure sores, skin breakdown, and further complications. A tilt range of 0-35º is crucial in weight-shifting center-of-gravity pressure relief design, coupled with the 30º range of reclining back, and an aircraft grade T6 aluminum frame.
