Walk-Safe Height & Width adjustable Walking Frame - Large, Silver

The lightweight NRS Healthcare Walk Safe is a revolutionary indoor walking frame with a brand-new design thats proven¹ to be twice as stable when turning, compared to the traditional walking frame. Created in partnership with the University of Salford and backed by four years of academic research and development, the Walk Safe is a game-changer, truly breaking free of the walking frame mould which has barely changed in 70 years. Great features: Available in two sizes each height and width adjustable Swivel castors with Magnetic Directional Bias* Large 125mm wheels Cushioned upper handles Additional lower handles Fully welded, lightweight frame Combined rear brake and glide Compatible with the Buckingham Caddy 2-year guarantee Innovative design Easy and safe turning The incredible new castor design on the Walk Safe lets you turn as you walk, without having to lift the whole frame up. You get smoother, more stable turns and a more natural walking movement. With Magnetic Directional Bias, the wheels return to a forward-facing position once youve made your turn, giving you much more control when you travel in a straight line. Combined rear pressure brake and glide A combined glide and brake on the rear legs gives you a smooth motion and controlled stopping all in one handy feature. The glide travels smoothly over your homes surfaces and thresholds, rather than the jerky movement of a traditional rear ferrule. However, if you apply pressure to the frame, the rear brake contacts the floor to bring you to a safe stop. Safely supporting you Built-in lower handles The two lower handles are designed to give you extra support when you stand up from your chair, sofa, or bed as well as when you sit back down again. They're particularly useful if your chair doesn't have armrests, or if you're getting up from a bed or sofa. Positioned so that the Walk Safe wont tip when you use them correctly to stand or sit, these lower handles are at a much easier height to aid you from a sitting position. Fully welded frame Unlike traditional walking frames, the Walk Safe has a welded frame making it more durable. Strong alloy tubing supports those weighing up to 160kg, and this fully recyclable construction is also more suitable for re-use or longer-term use, rather than the shorter lifespan of traditional frames. Adjustable to suit you Many standard walking frames can be height adjustable, but the Walk Safe is both height and width adjustable. The two sizes of Walk Safe cover a huge range of body sizes, so you only need to select one of two options. Comfort and convenience Cushioned upper handles Stable and supportive, the Walk Safe doesnt compromise on comfort. The handles have a grip section built-in that helps to avoid slipping during use. Buckingham Caddy compatible The Walk Safe is also compatible with the Buckingham Caddy, meaning you can carry personal items with you as you go around your home. Keeping the items stable as you walk, this handy accessory gives you confidence to carry out your day-to-day tasks. Disassemble for storage or travel The frame can come apart into two pieces, making it flatter and more convenient to store. It also makes the Walk Safe easier to take in the car when travelling.
