Traveling and exploring the world can be exciting experiences, but for people with physical disabilities, such trips can pose challenges. Fortunately, there are many medical aids available today that make traveling easier and more enjoyable, thanks to their lightness, flexibility, and practicality.
At Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare, we offer a wide range of aids that simply make your travel experience better.
With their lightweight construction and foldable design, these wheelchairs are the perfect travel companions.
They're ideal for short walks, such as crossing an airport or train station, when walking is difficult or the walk is too strenuous and long.
Folding transport chairs are also a great option for people who have temporary injuries or disabilities and need to use a wheelchair for a short period of time. They're also suitable for the elderly who need assistance walking but aren't dependent on a wheelchair all the time.
These chairs are available in different sizes and designs and can be customized to meet your specific needs. Some models have adjustable armrests and footrests to increase comfort, while others come with additional features like a padded seat and backrest.
Overall, foldable transport chairs are a practical and convenient solution for people who need constant walking assistance, whether it's for travel or daily life.
At Drive DeVilbiss, we offer a variety of transport chairs to choose from, including the super light Travelite, the Expedition Plus, and the transport wheelchair D-Lite.
Foldable electric wheelchairs are a special type of wheelchair that combine the advantages of electric wheelchairs and folding wheelchairs. They are ideal for people who need electric assistance but also want an easy way to transport the wheelchair.
As with conventional electric wheelchairs, foldable electric wheelchairs are powered by an electric motor and are easy to operate using a joystick control. They offer increased range and are ideal for longer rides and sightseeing. The foldable design of these wheelchairs allows them to be easily folded and stowed in the trunk of a car or in the overhead compartment of an airplane.
Some models have additional features such as adjustable seats, armrests and footrests to increase comfort and support for the user.
At Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare you will find two foldable electric wheelchairs in the portfolio: our stable standard model Instafold and the ultra-light carbon model Airfold.
