Walker
Makes walking easier
This walker was built for children with brittle-bone disease. There was previously no comparable product on the market in this size. It has to be especially light, so that children can use it without much effort: hence the titanium components. The walker also folds up and thus can be quickly stowed. The designers used the light DryLin® shafts and flanged bearings from iglidur® G.
