Wheelchair in Sao Tome and Principe
Leading Wheelchair Supplier

A wheelchair is a mobility device designed to provide individuals with limited or no ambulation the ability to move independently. It typically consists of a chair with wheels, allowing for self-propulsion or manual/powered assistance. Wheelchairs are engineered to offer support, comfort, and stability, enabling users to navigate various environments.

A consistent and reliable supply of wheelchairs is critical across various healthcare facilities in Sao Tome and Principe to ensure the mobility and dignity of patients with temporary or permanent physical impairments. This need spans both public and private sectors, from primary care settings to specialized rehabilitation centers. Hospitals, particularly those with surgical and orthopedic departments, require wheelchairs for patient transport to and from operating rooms, diagnostic imaging, and for post-operative recovery. Rehabilitation centers, often focusing on physical therapy and occupational therapy, are primary users, needing wheelchairs for patient engagement in therapeutic activities and daily living skills training. Furthermore, clinics, especially those offering outpatient services or managing chronic conditions, benefit from having accessible wheelchairs for patients with mobility challenges accessing consultations and treatments.

Ensuring your new wheelchair is set up correctly is crucial for optimal functionality and user comfort. Our streamlined installation process, tailored for the healthcare facilities of Sao Tome and Principe, prioritizes efficiency and precision. We understand the unique logistical considerations of the region and have established protocols to ensure a smooth experience from site preparation to final calibration.

Site Preparation: Prior to delivery, we will work with your facility to identify the optimal location for the wheelchair's intended use. This may involve ensuring adequate turning radius, accessibility to ramps or elevators, and proximity to patient care areas. Clear, unobstructed pathways are recommended for ease of maneuverability upon installation.

Delivery: Our trained technicians will coordinate delivery at a time convenient for your facility. The wheelchair will be transported securely to minimize any risk of damage. Upon arrival, a thorough inspection will be conducted to confirm the equipment's condition and completeness.

Installation Steps:

• Unpacking and Assembly: The wheelchair will be carefully unpacked, and any necessary components will be assembled according to manufacturer specifications. This typically involves attaching leg rests, armrests, and ensuring all locking mechanisms are secure.
• Functional Check: All moving parts, brakes, and safety features will be tested to ensure proper operation.
• User Orientation (Optional): If required, our technicians can provide a basic orientation to your staff on the general operation and safety features of the wheelchair.

Calibration Requirements: While most manual wheelchairs require minimal calibration, our technicians will perform a final check of the braking system and ensure smooth wheel rotation. For any powered or specialized wheelchairs, a more detailed calibration of motor functions, speed settings, and diagnostic checks will be conducted to meet precise performance standards and ensure user safety and responsiveness.

The cost of wheelchairs in Sao Tome and Principe can vary significantly based on whether you are purchasing a brand-new unit or a refurbished model. Factors such as the type of wheelchair (manual, lightweight, heavy-duty), the brand, and the specific features included will also influence the final price. It's important to consider your specific needs and budget when making a decision.

For new, basic manual wheelchairs, you can expect prices to typically range from STD 30,000 to STD 70,000. More advanced models with specialized features, such as reclining capabilities or enhanced maneuverability, could cost upwards of STD 80,000 to STD 150,000 or more.

Refurbished wheelchairs offer a more economical option. These units, which have been previously used and then reconditioned to a functional standard, can often be found at a considerable discount. Prices for refurbished wheelchairs generally fall between STD 15,000 and STD 40,000, depending on their condition and the original quality of the chair.
