OTs can view wide range of wheelchair and power add-on ranges at OT Show 2024
Recare, a rehabilitation and healthcare equipment specialist, will be showcasing a selection of its most popular products at the 2024 OT Show.
This year’s OT Show takes place on 27-28 November at the NEC in Birmingham. It offers the opportunity for occupational therapists (OTs) to view the latest assistive technologies from across the healthcare sector with educational and comprehensive free CPD opportunities.
On stand B54, Recare will be demonstrating a selection of its most popular products. This showcase will be running alongside CPD seminars presented by its sister company, Rebotics Technology. Delegates will be able to benefit from both hands-on product sessions and educational content to further their everyday practice.
The equipment on stand will include the Ottobock Genny, a “revolutionary” new two-wheel powerchair; the Permobil F5 VS powerchair, which offers functionality, dependable performance, and high manoeuvrability; and the Ottobock Discovery Base with special seating, which Recare says is one of the UK’s most popular wheelbases due to its stability and adaptability.
Other products on display on Recare’s stand will be the Decon E-Drive, which is a lightweight power add-on that turns manual wheelchairs into ultralight powerchairs; the Yomper+, which is a lightweight user-assisted power add-on, designed to enhance mobility and independence for wheelchair users facing challenges with manual propulsion; and the Beniot Light Drive 2.1, which is a lightweight, power add-on for manual wheelchairs that attaches in seconds and is compact and transportable.
In terms of specialist seating, OTs will also have the opportunity to learn more about Recare’s complex rehabilitation and specialist seating clinic. This clinic, based at its Long Hanborough headquarters, is open to users and OTs seeking bespoke seating and pressure management systems. There is pressure mapping technology on site, so individual cushions can be carved from recorded data for personalised postural needs.
