REAL Spider – Child

EXTRA LOW SEAT WHEELCHAIR

In the short space of time since the Spider range was introduced in early 2011 the Real Spider has become one of our most popular models. Clearly our young users themselves and their parents/carers like the look of the chair. In consultation with a number of different occupational therapists and advisers, in recent months a number of changes have been made to the prototype, resulting in the current Real Spider. By taking into account a wide range of opinions in the final design we have succeeded in producing a chair which appeals to users, parents/carers, occupational therapists and advisers alike.

Despite its low seat height (from as low as 17 cm), even the real spider uses the modular system for which Mercado Medic is renowned. In short, there are a wide range of options and accessories available for the real spider.

Key Features:

Extra Low Seat Height
One of the key features of the Real Spider is its low seat height. The low seat height and maximum legroom, in combination with the smooth running wheels, allow the child to manoeuvre themselves easily both at home and at school. The smooth-running wheels allow the child to get to a desk or table on their own without their teacher or their parent or carer having to push them.

Postural Management
To improve seating position and comfort, Mercado Medic has developed the ErgoMedic plus system in conjunction with Bengt Engström. The system is ideal for children with positioning problems. and consists of four components: seat, back support, armrests and head/neck support.
The shape and softness of the components ensure optimum stability, support and comfort. We also have seats made from other materials such as wood and memory foam. And you can also choose between slim or ErgoMedic
