Description
The Drive Medical Super Hemi Kit for Wheelchairs is a conversion accessory that lowers the seating height of compatible manual wheelchairs to a hemi-height position, specifically reducing to 15.5 inches. This facilitates foot propulsion and transfers for users with shorter leg length or hemiplegia, while maintaining wheelchair stability through the height-adjustment design.
Compatibility and scope
Designed for use with Sentra Plus, Astaire Plus, Viper, and Viper Plus wheelchairs. The kit is intended for models in these lines and is installed to achieve a lower, more accessible seating fit without altering the frame structure.
