The Flo standing & walking aid is a revolutionary innovation & an alternative independent living tool for transfer & mobility. Multifunctional, super strong, lightweight & elegant, Flo wraps around the lower leg, locking it in position & acts as a lever employing the users upper body strength to assist with dignified & unassisted elevation from seated to standing. Designed during a BBC documentary by Ilsa Parry with Philippe Starck & licensed to REthinkthings, this one piece intelligent item is patent protected & represents the future of human assistance.
Flo moves away from traditional medical aesthetics in its design & actively seeks to introduce a new visual language to the industry. Dubbed as the Salvador Dali stick, Flo can also be used as a walking cane. Available in 6 colours, the package
Includes:: an elegant & replaceable foot bung for grip with wear indicator, designed exclusively for the Flo product, & a wrist strap. Can be used on either leg.
Flo standing & walking aid is constructed using a combination of composite materials & advanced processes designed to create the required strength & lightweight performance demanded from the unique functionality. Flo is bladder moulded in one piece for consistent torsional strength using aluminium coated composite twill backed with 386g psm of 12k carbon. Flo is made in the same way as professional road bikes & parts of F1 cars so you can be sure of durability! Using in-house secrets our supplier has developed a technique to remove the internal manufacturing parts which are needed in creation which results in a unique lightweight product of just 300g. The semi translucent metallic surface finish is then applied in one of 6 colourways (black, silver, gold, blue, orange & pink). This innovative product supports the vertical transfer from seating to standing for users up to 25 stone. Flo can then be used as a walking stick to support mobility.
