Braze Blind Spot Sensors for Wheelchairs
These patent-pending Blind Spot Sensors can
be added to any power or manual wheelchair
to transform it into a “smart” wheelchair. Braze
Mobility’s system provides feedback to the user
regarding location and proximity to obstacles
through intuitive lights, sounds, and vibrations.
This affordable solution (starting at $1,850 MSRP) helps the user maintain dignity and independence, reduces caregiver stress, decreases property damage, and increases safety, not only for the user, but others in the environ- ment as well.

Swing-Away Anti-Tipper
This retractable and adjustable Swing Away Anti-Tipper
with integrated tip assist is the solution for freer and
safer movement without compromises and undesired
tipping. It helps wheelchair users to stay secure and
stable when facing obstructions, while helping care-
givers to transition over curbs and raised doorways. The
beauty of the Swing Away Anti-Tippers is that they can
easily be rotated horizontally under the chair by the user or the caregiver at any moment... so no need to remove them when they’re not in use.

Maxx Resolve Swing-Away Joystick
Mount
The smooth, effortless mount uses a dual
ball-and-socket joint mounting mechanism
for customized positioning of the joystick.
This maximizes users’ comfort and flexibility,
making driving, getting closer to things,
and forward transfers much easier. The
mount offers up to 4" (2" up or 2" down) of vertical travel relative to the arm pad, while the dual ball-and-socket joint design enables rotation and angle adjustability. Users with limited hand/wrist/finger function can now position the joystick in the best orientation for their needs.
