WABSY: Innovation in the service of safety
The anti-rollback wheelchair brake system to protect your loved ones
WABSY is an innovative anti roll-back system that reacts instantly to pressure applied on the seat of the wheelchair under which it is installed. Its aim is to increase user safety by limiting the risk of falls due to misuse of manual brakes. Its well-thought-out and solid design means it can be installed under almost any folding wheelchair available on the market.
A pressure-responsive system
When the user stands up from the wheelchair, the releasing pressure on the seat activates steel pins which engage in locking discs to immobilize the wheels. In the opposite case, when the user sits down, the pressure applied to the system allows the steel pins to withdraw from the discs, restoring wheel movement.
