Full Description

The fully adjustable rigid wheelchair.

The new Argon² is the ideal combination of a rigid performing and multi-adjustable active wheelchair. These functional characteristics are built in the modern-looking open frame design. The wide range of adjustment possibilities allows you to fine tune your performance. It’s the ideal adaptive wheelchair for users who are developing their driving capabilities over time and require more active wheelchair settings. This ensures the best driving performance now and in the future.

The wheelchair that’s adaptable to you.
The Argon2 offers full adjustability without compromising on any performance. The rear seat height is adjustable in 1 cm steps, so the seat angle can be constantly adapted to changing needs. With the infinitely adjustable centre of gravity, you can quickly change your driving settings to a more active or a more stable performance. The backrest angle, height and upholstery tension are also adjustable, so you’ll always find a seating position that best suits you.

Argon 2, the innovative wheelchair.
The Argon2 castor forks are made of Carbotecture material – a special lightweight and extremely strong carbon fibre material out of the aeronoutic industry. Extremely impact resistant and break proof, the weight efficiency is twice as light as aluminium. The outstanding design of the castor link tube (thanks to tube hydroforming) helps to achieve complex tube geometries – for a stronger, modern design.

A wheelchair you can trust
Personalise your Argon2 with two different knee angles and frame insets to meet your requirements of a compact wheelchair. The open frame design combined with the low weight of the chair ensures easy transfer of the chair across the body into a vehicle. The new Argon2 is a strong, efficient and rigid wheelchair with a maximum user weight of 140 kg. It’s approved for handbike usage and is crash tested according to ISO 7176-19 for transportation in a vehicle.

Wide range of options
Configure your Argon 2 wheelchair to your individual needs with a range of product options, including carbon sideguards, carbon platform footplate, flip-up anti-tips, one arm wheel lock, tool height adjustable armrest or a padded tubular armrests. Also, the innovative carbotecture fork is available as a style package in three different colours (silver, orange and black).

Cognitive Abilities

For safe independent use, users must understand cause + effect (action = result). Independent use requires directional understanding (i.e. moving the wheels in one direction results in matching chair movement), problem solving (i.e. combine + time movements to get from A to B), and judgment (ability to learn that if something is unsafe they should not do it).

Functional Abilities

Users must have sufficient vision, trunk control and enough upper extremity grip, strength and stamina to steer and/or propel the chair. For foot propulsion, users must also have functional use of at least one lower extremity. Their adjustable foot and armrests and seat position make them appropriate for users requiring minimal positioning. This chair may not be appropriate for those with visual deficits, uncontrolled seizures, bilateral upper extremity weakness and those with poor trunk control.

Environment

Standard wheelchairs can be used both indoors and outdoors. They perform best on firm, flat surfaces such as pavement, groomed footpaths, cycle paths and in and around home. While it can be used outdoors, they not intended to be used on rough terrain, slopes, loose gravel, or sand. Their relatively small turn radius makes them appropriate for indoor use where space is limited.

Activities

Their maneuverability and small turn radius make standard wheelchairs ideal for use in tight spaces (stores, elevators, public washrooms, public transit etc.). While they can be used outdoors, they are best for activities done on flat level surfaces like urban sightseeing or sidewalk commuting.
Warnings
