Patient invents lightweight carbon fiber wheelchair

由 Ana Duarte 于 2017-02-22 13:47 分享

About the solution

Andrew was never comfortable being the kid in the wheelchair, so he felt the need to redesign the wheelchair.

“Wheelchairs have always been perceived as rather unfortunate medical devices. When you are the user of what is commonly perceived as an unfortunate medical device you don’t feel empowered”, the designer explained.

This wheelchair is lighter than the traditional ones because is made of carbon fiber, being also robust. It is custom made to each customer’s size and requirements.

 The Carbon Black costs £9,950, and it took Andrew about 30 years to design it.
