Service life
We estimate that Rea ™ Clematis® has a service life span of five years. It is difficult to state the
exact length of the service life of our products, and the length stated is an estimated average life span
based on normal use. The life span may be considerably longer if the wheelchair is used to a limited
extent, and if it is used with care, maintained and handled properly. The life span may be shorter if
the wheelchair is subjected to extreme use.

Chassis
The chassis is produced in steel and is fully recyclable. Recycling of steel requires only 20-25% of the

The plastic parts in the chairs are produced of "Thermoplastic" and are marked with recycling symbols
(where it is possible due to part size). The main plastic material is polyamide. This material can be
