Handrim CURVE

Product information Handrim CURVE
Our CURVE handrims – perfect ergonomics with each propulsion.

Who are the CURVE handrims suited for?
For wheelchair users with complete hand function.

What are the advantages of the CURVE handrims?
The innovative profile enables you to gain controlled, low-effort grip while stabilising your wrist. Compared to conventional handrims, the hand muscles tire less and so help to reduce cramps and relieve pain due to carpal tunnel syndrome creating a relaxed and lasting riding experience.

What is our recommendation in terms of profile size and coating?
Wheelchair users with small hands should use the small CURVE profile. If you have normally-sized or large hands, we recommend choosing the larger CURVE L profile. Those who enjoy fast downhill rides in higher temperatures, should use the anodised surface.

Handrim QUADRO

Product information Handrim QUADRO
The QUADRO will push the limits of your mobility.

Who are the QUADRO handrims suited for?
For tetraplegics without triceps function.

What are the advantages of the QUADRO handrims?
Designed with the biomechanics of tetraplegics with no triceps function in mind, the profile of the QUADRO provides you with a considerably larger gripping surface than a conventional handrim. Featuring an extremely robust anti-slip coating, it offers you unsurpassed grip for efficient propulsion as well as maximum control during braking and when correcting the direction of travel.

Handrim CURVE TETRA-GRIP

Product information Handrim CURVE TETRA-GRIP
The CURVE TETRA GRIP will take your mobility to a new level.

Who are the CURVE TETRA GRIP handrims suited for?
For tetraplegics with triceps function as well as for wheelchair users with complete hand function but little hand strength.

What are the advantages of the CURVE TETRA GRIP handrims?
Being larger than conventional round profiles, this innovative profile provides tetraplegics with triceps function with a gripping surface optimised for exerting considerably more pressure on the handrim. As a result, propelling the wheelchair along a flat road and particularly uphill requires less physical effort while being much gentler on the joints, and better and more secure wheelchair handling is ensured. Along with the extremely durable anti-slip coating, the handrims make riding and steering your wheelchair much safer. When braking, the larger gripping surface helps to distribute the pressure much better and thus reduces heat generation.

What is our recommendation in terms of profile size?
Generally, we recommend using our CURVE L TETRA GRIP handrim to all tetraplegics with triceps function.

Handrim CURVE PARA-GRIP

Product information Handrim CURVE PARA-GRIP
Our CURVE PARA GRIP – perfect in the winter and for users with limited hand strength.

Who are CURVE PARA GRIP handrims suited for?
For wheelchair users with complete hand function with either complete or limited hand strength.

What are the advantages of the CURVE PARA GRIP handrims?
The ergonomically perfect profile enables you to gain controlled, low-effort grip while stabilising your wrist. Compared to conventional hand rims, the hand muscles tire less and so help to reduce cramps and relieve pain due to carpal tunnel syndrome creating a relaxed and lasting driving experience. The 2-mm thick hard plastic coating also serves as heat insulation in low temperatures and so turns the CURVE PARA GRIP into the perfect winter rim.

What is our recommendation in terms of profile size?
Wheelchair users with small and normally-sized hands should use the smaller CURVE PARA GRIP profile. If you have large hands, we recommend choosing the larger CURVE L PARA GRIP profile.
