The Juditta Wheelchair is for those that need to be in the wheelchair for an extended period of time. Adaptive and adjustable features combined with tilt functions help to provide a wheelchair that reduces pressure while providing comfortable positioning. The Juditta can be folded in the backrest for easy transport and storage. The B30 model features 8" front wheels and 12" rear wheels with a single control pedal to operate the drum brakes. The B60 model has 8" front tires and large 22" rear tires with brake.
Ergonomic and Adjustable
The Juditta's backrest features a unique V design that provides alignment to the back without generating pressure onto the spine itself. This design also allows for better stability without additional bulky padding and supports. This helps provide a more comfortable experience for extended periods of sitting without the worry of contractions that could hurt the joints. The backrest is also height adjustable to accommodate users of different sizes and heights. The backrest's tilt is controlled by levers with a safety pin to lock the angle.
The headrest of the Juditta also features the V-shaped design that provides comfortable stability to the head while minimizing direct pressure. The head can move side to side easily, allowing the user to see more of their environment. The headrest can be adjusted in height, tilt, depth, and lateral translation to allow the user proper movement while keeping the spine and head properly aligned and upright.
The Juditta's seat has a slight tilt that prevents the user from sliding forward and potentially causing injuries. The seat allows for the tilt of the leg rest and backrest to be changed without changing the angle of the hip and knee joints, preventing the user from getting jostled or causing unwanted movement. The armrests of the Juditta scissor open, allowing for easier transfers to bed with reduced risk of stain or possible injuries. The armrests are also height adjustable to fit the user comfortably.
Adjustable features of the Juditta help to provide a customized fit to every user and allow the Juditta to be used by multiple people. The leg rest is removable, able to turn, and adjustable in tilt, height, and flexion-extension. The seat adjusts in depth to four positionings without changing the recline on the backrest. The push handle adjusts in height and tilt for adaptability to the caregiver and allow easier access when the wheelchair is tilted.
Reduces Pressure
Semi-elastic bands in the seat band together underneath the cover to create a flexible material that contours to the user's specific body dimensions. This helps to relieve pressure generated onto the body, particularly sensitive areas such as the spine and backside.
The backrest can tilt and recline for variation of positioning that further helps to diminish the possibility of pressure ulcers which can be immensely unpleasant and increases the risk of infection. Two gas springs independently will tilt or recline the chair, placing less strain and weight on the caregiver. Occasional tilt and recline allows for more oxygen to reach the skin which helps to increase oxygenation
Breathable and Hygienic
The semi-elastic bands in addition to reducing pressure also allow for better air circulation to the skin. Holes in the headrest allow airflow to the back of the head which helps to regulate body temperature and wick away moisture. The headrest is also naturally anti-bacterial, helping to create a more hygienic environment.
The material used for the upholstery is comfortable, breathable, slip-resistant, and fire-proof for additional comfort and safety. The covers detach easily and are machine washable for easy cleaning.
The Juditta Wheelchair comes with the chair, occupancy transit kit, headrest, legrest, and calf pads.
