Product Overview
The Platypus Pool & Wet Area Wheelchair 480mm is a durable and lightweight aquatic mobility chair designed for use in pools, hydrotherapy facilities, showers, and wet area environments. Australian made and purpose-built for aquatic access, this wheelchair provides safe, comfortable, and reliable mobility for users in chlorinated, freshwater, and saltwater settings.
Constructed with a rustproof PVC frame and stainless steel components, the Platypus wheelchair is ideal for rehabilitation centres, aged care facilities, aquatic therapy clinics, schools, and accessible recreation centres. The open-weave mesh seat allows for fast drainage and airflow, helping improve comfort during extended use in wet conditions.
The self-propelled rear wheels promote user independence, while swing-away armrests and folding footrests assist with safer transfers. Designed with both users and carers in mind, the wheelchair also features accessible hand brakes for improved safety and control.
