Published purpose

Our revolutionary, patent pending device, called the Ibex, helps people prevent and recover from falls. It is a rollator walker with an elevating seat that descends to floor level, raises to a height of 24” and stops anywhere in between. It helps people reach lower items, transfer on/off low surfaces, conserve energy by perching at counter height and the seat folds so people can stand or walk inside the frame. In the unfortunate event a fall happens, it can lift the fallen person from the floor independently or with minimal assistance. It provides people the confidence and independence to continue their activities of daily living and those that bring them joy.
