Surge & Surge LT Handrims with Gription - Pair

Surge & Surge LT Handrims

The Surge Handrim from IndeMedical.com are lightweight, all-in-one oval handrims with a Gription Strip that improves traction on every push. The Surge does not add any width to your chair and can be mounted in the close-in or wide position.

The Gription Strip is a rubber strip that goes all the way around the top surface of the oval handrim. Its particularly helpful when going up ramps, hills, or when traversing difficult surfaces (e.g., like deep-pile carpeting). Smooth side surface means no-burn braking. The remaining surfaces of the oval (the side surfaces) are hard anodized in black to provide a smooth braking surface. The Gription Strip is not replaceable; it is permanently bonded to the handrim.

Both the Surge and the Surge LT are the same all-in-one oval handrim with the Gription Strip on the top of the oval. The only difference between the two is the size and weight of the oval. The Surge uses a larger profile oval that is 1-1/2" long (top to bottom) and weighs 24 ounces. The Surge LT uses a reduced weight, smaller profile oval for those looking for a reduction in weight or a smaller gripping surface (for those with smaller hands). The LT is 1-1/8" long and weighs just 17 ounces - just a hair more than a standard handrim (standard handrims typically weigh 13-15 ounces).

The Surge & Surge LT fits wheelchair wheels sizes 20" to 26".
