KARMA Medical firmly believes in the concept of “Fit”; that is, to find the perfect mobility aid, one must consider the user’s body shape, medical needs, lifestyle, and budget search for the sweet balance of these four key elements to achieve an improved quality of life.
Flexx Adapt was designed under that philosophy. In the early stage of the research and development of Flexx Adapt, hundreds of therapists were involved in giving their opinions and advice. Through that process, a new standard for pediatric positioning products was created, with the fully adjustable and configurable seating system ensuring a comfortable and supportive fit throughout childhood.
Flexx Adapt
Innovative Pediatric Positioning Solution
✓ Growing Up with Flexx Adapt
Seat expandable with a rigid frame and adjustable seating system.
✓ 2-in-1 Pressure Relief
Combining the Tilt and Recline functions allow the user to achieve a nearly horizontal trunk position to redistribute pressure, facilitate transfers, perform postural adjustments, and undergo daily care (e.g., diaper changes).
✓ Personalized Seating System
The adaptive seating system allows a wide range of accessory options for the ultimate personalization. The back panel’s slide-slot design and side rail technology facilitate the addition of different headrests, armrests, and supports.
✓Dynamic Backrest to Protect the User
Sudden, uncontrolled movements from increased muscle tone pose risks to both the users and their wheelchairs. KARMA’s Dynamic Backrest diffuses and absorbs these forces, while supporting the user throughout their daily activities. With the flip of a switch, the backrest can be set to static mode, providing a stable support surface.

As a leading wheelchair brand, KARMA Medical takes action to support people with disabilities. We focus on bringing independence to the users by providing a suitable solution that fits the user’s need.
In Nov. 2021, we cooperated with Ningxia Disabled Persons’ Federation in China to provide 100 standing wheelchairs.
The KARMA team arranged a tour of over 20 towns to deliver 100 units of Ergo Stand (KP-80) to users over the course of 6 days. The main goal was to motivate those users to stand up, and make it easier for them to connect to the outside world.
“I haven‘t stood up for more than ten years. Thank you to the government for the opportunity. With this electric wheelchair, it will be much more convenient for me to go out now” Mr. Hsu said.
In everything we do, we try to enrich the lives of others by providing high quality and reliable products and help to achieve the life of possibilities. That is the core mission of KARMA.

Amongst 1,200 candidates, KARMA’s 2-in-1 positioning wheelchair, VIP 2, won the 2022 Taiwan Excellence Product award. The 30th award ceremony was held by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council in Taipei this week. The Assistant Manager of Brand and Marketing of KARMA Medical Products, Elsa Chung, was there to receive the award.
The Taiwan Excellence Award is a great honor (like the Oscars of Taiwan’s technology industry). Each of the winning products was selected by hundreds of experts in various fields and judged by design, quality control, and marketing strategy. KARMA’s product stood out from the artificial intelligence and cloud technology products based on the rapid aging trends.
KARMA “Fit” is the core principle of its products. Besides providing convenience and freedom of mobility devices for the elderly and disabled, KARMA also cares for the needs of caregivers. To face head-on the aging tsunami wave that cannot be ignored.
VIP 2: 2-in-1 Reclining and Tilting Wheelchair
VIP 2 is a 2-in-1 manual wheelchair that provides Recline and Tilt-in-Space functions, so it can support the user to sit for a long time without sliding, and simultaneously release hip pressure. This can also reduce the time and energy which caregivers spend to adjust the user’s posture. The dual effect of preventing the occupant’s body from shearing and excessive skin rubbing due to lying down, reduces the chance of bedsores. Tool-free flip back armrests are convenient for caregivers to move the occupants easily; the foldable design makes storage easy and simple.

Taipei, Taiwan (May 2021) – The Assistive Technology of Life (ATLife) is considered the most iconic local trade fair for rehabilitation and special care in Taiwan. This May, we were lucky enough to be given the green light to participate in this expo after over a year of not being able to exhibit due to COVID-19 restrictions.
This year, one of our biggest showcases was iBuddy, the world’s first smart wheelchair designed to help seniors stay active that we previously unveiled the prototype at Rehacare 2018. In conjunction with iBuddy, we also showcased 2 new innovative technologies; iSeating and iService.
We went all out to offer a whole range of products from pediatric to geriatric wheelchairs for users to test as well as seminars to educate OTs, PTs, and parents who came from all over Taiwan to visit this expo.
Our most popular sector by far was our customisation and technician sections. KARMA’s technicians and maintenance teams offered customers a look over their wheelchair to make adjustments as well as offer any advice.
Thanks to the amazing team, partners, and users that made this expo a big success and memorable to each KARMA member.
Check out more photos on the KARMA Medical Global Instagram where we have a highlight of the event.
