Dear people:
I’m having serious troubles in finding a wheelchair, according to the
characteristics prescribed by the doctor:
It must be electronically driven and elevated, allowing the verticalization,
must allow backrest reclining and feet elevation, have a good RECARO seat
and allow outdoor driving.
The only option I’ve seen until now is the Supertrans; unfortunately, the
factory was bought by Otto Bock group; the manufacturer had a distributor
for the chair; now, Otto Bock claims that the agreement is null, because the
owner has changed; the distributor thinks different, and they are both
fighting each other in court, I was told.
Bottom line: until the situation is solved, No Supertrans; that’s why I need
a replacement.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks and best regards to all.
