The Platypus Pool and Wet Area Wheelchair, designed and manufactured in Australia by Para Mobility, are lightweight, rustproof, self-propelled wheel chairs designed to be fully immersed in salt, chlorinated or fresh water. They are lightweight and made from quality furniture grade PVC, which will not absorb the heat if left out in the sun, thus preventing accidental burns, while the strong open weave fabric allows passage of air and water.
The chairs have solid tyres which never go flat and are ideal for home use, leisure centres, hydrotherapy pools, showering and outdoor environments. The Platypus Pool and Wet Area Wheelchair has been designed for comfort, safety and practicality, and is easily and safely self-propelled.
The wheels are equipped with hand brakes on each side of the wheelchair for maximum safety and control. The brakes are strategically positioned to allow carers easy access, at hip height, when activating them.
An option is available for the aquatic wheelchair to be user controlled giving them direct access and independence.
