Ottobock Start Wheelchair Attendant Drum Brake Kit

Overview

The Ottobock Start Wheelchair Attendant Drum Brake Kit is designed to provide secure and convenient braking control for individuals assisting wheelchair users. This specialized drum brake system enhances safety and maneuverability, particularly on inclines or when navigating crowded areas.
