CarboLife Curve Tetra-Grip

The CarboLife CURVE TETRA GRIP handrims take your mobility to a new level.

For whom are CURVE TETRA GRIP tyres suitable? For tetraplegics with triceps function and wheelchair users with full hand function but low hand strength.

What are the advantages of CURVE TETRA GRIP tyres? Compared to conventional handrims with a round cross-section, the innovative profile shape is larger and thus provides tetraplegics with triceps function with a significantly more effective pressure surface between hand and handrim. This makes propelling the wheelchair on level surfaces and especially on slopes easier on the strength and joints and thus ensures better and safer handling of the wheelchair. In combination with the extremely robust anti-slip coating, the push rims enable you to drive and steer much more safely. When braking, the increased contact surface distributes the pressure better and generates less heat.

Which profile size do we recommend? We generally recommend our CURVE L TETRA GRIP handrims for all tetraplegics with existing triceps function.

CarboLife push rims are generally available with the two common mounting variants:

• Fastening by means of 6 straps (The handrims have six welded aluminium plates with holes, which are attached to the wheel rim by means of M5 bolts.)
• Fastening by means of 6 threaded inserts (The hand rims have six inserted M5 threads. The fastening screws are guided through the wheel rim and, if necessary, spacer sleeves and screwed into the push rim.)

If you have any questions or are unsure about the type of fastening, please contact us. We will be happy to help you!
