Karman VIP515 Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair

The Karman VIP515 is the world's lightest foldable tilt-in-space wheelchair. Traditional tilt-in-space chairs do not fold; the VIP515 does, without sacrificing structural integrity. The chair tilts as a complete unit from 0 to 35 degrees, maintaining the hip-to-back angle while shifting weight distribution off the ischial tuberosities. Two rear safety stops prevent over-tilting. The optional elevating legrest configuration (+E models) adds lower extremity support.
