"Lightweight-rigid" for handling and performance

Helium encompasses the latest in cycle and automotive racing technologies for the 2010 decade. Designed and engineered from the latest ultra-light 'formed aluminium technology', custom moulding and high-tech options. Quickie® from Sunrise Medical gives you the lightest, most manoeuvrable 'mobility device' ever conceived.

"Lightweight-adjustable" rolling capability and ergonomics

Adjustability no longer compromises rigidity or weight. Helium keeps the full range of ergonomic adjustments and the strength in the rigid frame without welding. The result is an ultra-light chair that can be constantly fine tuned to your personal requirements, so Helium gives you the ability to cover large distances and manoeuvre with the minimum of effort or fatigue. Helium has achieved the impossible.

"Lightweight-lifting" ergonomic lifting and transfer

Lifting and transferring is a question of technique and weight. The Helium is ultra-light and can weigh under 4.2 kg without its Quick Release wheels. And the key is the technique. Helium possesses two ergonomic grab bars complete with rubber grip pads. These are positioned on the backrest bar for lifting and on the cross tube for vehicle transfers. Either way the balanced lift minimises the strain on the wrist and ensures repetitive lifting remains ergonomic.

"Lightweight-handling" for confined spaces

The ultra-light Helium‘s rigidity, high tolerances and detailed ergonomic adjustments ensure it is the easiest to turn in confined spaces. The Helium offers you excellent size efficiencies between your dimensions and those of the chair. Just 17 cm additional width with Proton wheels. Combine this with the 92 degree leg rest angle, and you can have a tight turning circle from 74.5 cms!

"Lightweight-glamour" for those special events

Helium‘s minimalist ultra modern design takes backstage, ensuring you are in the limelight. The wide range of functional and contemporary options optimizes your posture and style. Over 20 colours can be blended onto your Helium components in almost any combination. And select from a range of lightweight, vented or ‘Alcantara’ upholsteries and with Helium ... the look is uniquely yours.
