Invacare Kuschall did something different a few years ago and adopted an angular-tubed frame (hydroformed to be exact). It made sense - the traditional round tube was becoming a little boring and samey, the oval tubing from Sunrise Medical had been out for a number of years and was reaping the benefits of more modern design and so Kuschall went one better. At least, that's what they hoped it would be thought as. In reality such a design change has never been more divisive - like Marmite the Kuschall's square frame has split the market down the middle with some loving it and some... well, not so much.
Kuschall have always been that wheelchair manufacturer who don't try to jump on bandwagons. They don't make a big fuss about themselves and they certainly don't mind being different. The Kuschall range featuring the Champion, Compact, K-Series and KSL all feature this new square frame and we're happy to stake our marker in the sand to say we like it.
The Kuschall K-Series is one of the most recognisable wheelchairs in the U.K. market and is a frequent first choice for NHS Wheelchair Services and end users alike. The Kuschall K-Series is a fully adjustable open framed lightweight active wheelchair that is highly customisable pre and post prescription. Great for new or experienced wheelchair users alike the K-Series is smart, functional and customisable to suit your needs.
With frame weights starting from 5.1kg the Kuschall K-Series is a great choice for anyone desiring a rigid frame who transports it on the passenger seat of their car. The locking backrest and square frame making lifting the wheelchair from the ground easy while the clean open frame makes passing it across your body simple.
If you'd like to trial the Kuschall K-Series or its competitors - the Quickie Nitrum or Progeo Joker - please give us a call and we'd be happy to book an appointment.
Prices will vary according to individual specifications in the build of the chair.
