After
three years of hard work of developing and testing to find the best shape and
technology, we came up with a revolutionary innovation and an alternative independent living tool for transfer and mobility, which has no
concurrence on the market.
The multifunctional Flo standing
and walking aid was launched in May, and it is available to buy in our REthinkthings shop. Flo is ergonomically shaped,
so it wraps around the lower leg and locks it in position to assist with
dignified and unassisted elevation from seated to standing. Designed during a
BBC documentary by Ilsa Parry with Philippe Starck and licensed to REthinkthings, this one piece intelligent item is patent
protected and represents the future of human assistance.
This innovative product is
constructed using a combination of composite materials and advanced processes
designed to create the required strength and lightweight performance demanded
from the unique functionality. Therefore it weights only 300g, but supports the
vertical transfer from seating to standing for users up to 25 stone.
Flo is available in 5 colours (black, yellow, aqua, orange
and pink), the package includes an elegant and replaceable foot bung for grip
and a wrist strap.
