Carbolife Curve L Tetra-Grip Wheelchair Push Rim

Rating:
100% of 100

Suitable for: Triceps function with complete hand function but little hand strength.

This innovative profile is larger than conventional round profiles and offers tetraplegics with triceps function an optimized contact surface for significantly more power through the handrim.

As a result, moving the wheelchair on flat terrain and especially uphill requires less effort, while at the same time protecting the joints and ensuring better and safer handling of the wheelchair.

In combination with the durable anti-slip coating, the handrims make driving and steering your wheelchair much safer. Due to the even distribution of pressure, the handrim is less prone to heating when the wheelchair is braked.

To meet different needs, Carbolife developed two profile sizes. The Curve Tetra-Grip is designed with a 28mm high profile for wheelchair users with smaller hands. The Curve L Tetra-Grip, with a height of 35mm, is designed for normal-sized or larger hands.

**Price is for a single push rim**

We hold most of the popular sizes in stock. If we don't have the items you require, we will inform you and give you an estimated delivery time which is usually 7 - 10 working days.

Who are Carbolife?

“Improving the everyday mobility and quality of life of wheelchair users with the help of our products – this is what motivates us. With this goal in mind, we – four engineers and friends – founded the Dresden based company CarboLife in 2013. The initial impetus towards giving serious thought to the mobility of wheelchair users came from joint activities and conversations with a wheelchair-riding friend.

These occasions opened our eyes for the development potential of handrims to improve the mobility of wheelchair users. Against this backdrop, we developed our CURVE handrim. It owes its perfect ergonomic fit to the imprints we created using modelling clay and which ideally represent the natural anatomy of the hand.

Striving towards our goal to offer every wheelchair user the handrim tailored to their individual needs, to date we have developed a range of innovative handrims in close cooperation with wheelchair users, physiotherapists and specialist dealers”.

Which Push Rim is right for me?

Carbolife have produced a range of push rims to cover those with full upper body function to those of us with limited hand and arm function. 

The push rims range from bare aluminium, to the hybrid Gekko which has a rubber strip along the top surface, to the fully coated for those with limited dexterity.  Along with these variations in surface coating there are also various profile types to suit different hand sizes and shapes.

Do Carbolife pushrims require any maintenance?

Dirt, hand cream etc. can "glaze" the Tetra coating. It is therefore important that the handrims are cleaned regularly (if possible at least once a week) with a damp cloth + grease-dissolving cleaning agent. If the slippery layer of grease is difficult to remove, commercial disinfectants can also be used - also in combination with a scouring pad - to get the handrims clean again. This should make your handrims very grippy again.

The choice of cleaning method depends on the degree of soiling. So the normal weekly cleaning with grease dissolving detergent and if that doesn't work, disinfectant or isopropyl alcohol also in conjunction with a scouring pad.
