Each of these models serves unique user needs, featuring distinct designs and functionalities.

The Invacare MWD is engineered for exceptional maneuverability. Its mid-wheel drive technology provides a centralized drive wheel, allowing for tight turns and easy navigation in confined spaces.

Its durable construction ensures enhanced longevity, making it an ideal choice for users who lead an active lifestyle and require reliable mobility solutions on rugged ground.

The Arrow FWD wheelchair brings another dimension with its front-wheel drive system. This design allows users to easily navigate obstacles as the front wheels can pivot over them. The Arrow FWD is particularly suited for both indoor and outdoor use, as it combines the agility of the MWD with the stability seen in the RWD. It features a compact design, making it easier for users to position themselves in various settings and social situations.
