C500 RS

Permobil Launches Revolutionary Rehab Seating System

LEBANON, Tenn. (September 19, 2006) – Permobil, Inc. today unveiled its latest innovation—the Rehab Seating System or RS—at Medtrade in Atlanta. The ultimate in modular seating systems, the RS is available on Permobil’s world-renowned C500 power base.

The RS offers a multitude of power seat functions that accommodate most, if not all, postures. The Intelligent Control System (ICS) lets users program up to three memory positions through the switch box and enables synchronized movement of the Vari-Smart Actuators. All of this allows for real-time positioning and eliminates the need for mechanical limit switches. Plus, the VerteFlex Back of the RS actually flexes and rotates to provide a custom fit, while the ErgoCentric Tilt and Recline feature provides 75° of full-motion tilt and a low sheer recline.

“As a pioneer in the field of mobility, Permobil is proud to bring to market the world’s most innovative seating system,” said Larry Jackson, President of Permobil, Inc. “The RS takes rehab seating to a new level and offers more features than ever before with each one designed specifically to improve and enhance the life of the user. The RS represents Permobil’s ongoing dedication to the development and advancement of mobility solutions.”

Permobil has been committed to enhancing the lives of the physically challenged for more than 35 years. Founded in Sweden, Permobil has its North American headquarters in Lebanon, TN.
