Description
The commonest fault of cheap support arms is drift: day after day the tablet sags a few degrees until it is out of reach — and the person using it cannot correct that alone.
Braccio Flex uses friction joints with adjustable preload and independent locking screws, sized for a 2.5 kg capacity with a generous margin. Once the right position has been found during the assessment, you lock it and it stays.
The end joint has a quick release, so the person can be freed within seconds if needed, for a transfer or in an emergency: a requirement on which there is no compromise.
Who it is for
Anyone using a communicator on a wheelchair or in bed who cannot reposition it themselves.
