The union of numerous experiences with design has generated a new level of simplicity, well being and efficiency in affordable assistive products.
Created with the purpose of improving the lives of people with temporary or permanent disabilities, it is born from real stories of overcoming to deliver technology and innovation.
Through a long project of co-creation with users of assistive products, institutes, health professionals and tests in laboratories and software we created something constructively equal to the market models, but with special attributes.
The external shape is flat to keep it standing on the wall when not in use, connection system on each other, less caloric burning while walking, accessory hub, 360° safety reflective tape, ergonomic handrest with less hand pressure, innovative tip with change warning, flexibility and high ground adherence.
We are talking about users in recovery or with permanent debilitation. Every detail that contributes to your health should receive extreme attention. With that in mind, we invested a lot of time in laboratories researching how to make the handrest. We found an angulation and dimension that help in weight distribution and favor walking with less caloric burn. In addition, the handrest design better distributes palm pressure for less chance of injuring your hands and wrists.
With a view to preventing further falls, we used the company's 50+ years of experience in rubber to develop a special compound with high adherence for the tip. Which now has unique features such as grooves to drain water, replacement warning and high flexibility to always keep it fully supported on the ground.
The brand is focused on helping people live better, and this product will provide this with a simple, intuitive and affordable value design.
We will certainly help people to forget their injuries, make their ways less painful, safer and more natural.
