Vela Tango 500
Vela Indoor Activity Chair
The Vela Tango 500 is a special independence chair that gives people with disabilities who have limited movement more freedom. Vela Tango 500 appears like an office chair with brake and gas lift, yet it’s more practical for chores because it offers many more features. Vela chairs are safer and offer more freedom than a wheelchair or walker, due to the central brake and it’s walkability. The 15cm gas height adjustment mechanism offers extended reach. The seat may be rotated 90 degrees in both directions. The armrests can be folded back at the push of a button for easy transfers to another seat or bed.
The Vela Tango 500 has a 2 part ALB backrest with adjustable lumbar support, including tilt and height adjustability.

My wonderful kitchen help. The Vela Chair!
I have multiple sclerosis which has caused me the need to use a Vela Activity Chair in my kitchen. I met Ian Wylie (M&P Acccount Manager) the day he brought my Vela Chair. Such a great knowledgeable man who showed me all the functions of the chair. It really surprised me on how easy it is to use. It tilts me towards towards my bench, will go up and down, swivel around and has a break to safely stop and keep the chair in place. I couldn’t be happier with my wonderful kitchen help the Vela chair!
