2.3. Purpose
•
This wheelchair features push rims, an adjustable backrest ranging
from 0° to 44° and legrests that can be inclined until they are in
a horizontal position, and it is intended to be used as a means for
transporting invalid individuals and for making it easier to provide
wheelchair users with nursing care.
•
As a means for transporting invalid individuals, the wheelchair
serves to increase the mobility and transport of people with
impaired mobility, and it enables them to be transported in a nearly
horizontal position.

with impaired mobility; it makes it easier for caregivers to provide
assistance; it assists caregivers with their activities while reducing
the physical burden of providing care.
•
The push rims also enable the person in need of care to propel the
wheelchair by themselves, like when they want to change their
position in a room.

The maximum load is 130kg for Protego and 150 kg for Protego SL.
