Karman VIP515 tilt-in-space wheelchair upright with headrest, front three-quarter view

Karman VIP515 Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair

$1,970.00

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.

  • True tilt-in-space: 0-35 degrees seat and back tilt together as a unit
  • Only lightweight tilt-in-space wheelchair that also folds
  • Ergonomic S-style seat frame for pressure distribution
  • Ergonomic head pillow standard
  • Full-length height-adjustable flip-back armrests
  • Pelvic seatbelt and 2 rear safety stops standard
  • Aegis antimicrobial padded upholstery

  • Transport (TP) models with 14 in rear wheels

Ideal for: Users with limited postural control or anyone requiring periodic weight redistribution in a chair that folds for transport.
