FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Doug Garven, a seasoned product designer with over 30 years of experience in the Durable Medical Equipment industry, introduces the CR1, a custom carbon fiber wheelchair designed to provide unparalleled comfort and functionality for users. Inspired by Formula 1 race cars and the F-22 Raptor, the CR1 is a result of years of research and development, aiming to offer a unique and personalized mobility solution for individuals with specific needs.
The CR1 is a custom fabricated carbon fiber wheelchair, uniquely built around the user's individual body specifications and preferences. The use of carbon fiber not only ensures strength and lightweight performance but also allows for the optimization of tube shape, enhancing both strength and comfort for the user. The chair's unique front-end design facilitates improved environmental access, enabling users to maneuver in tight spaces with ease.
Utilizing a proprietary foam core fabrication process, the CR1 boasts additional strength and vibration absorption, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. Each chair is tailored to the user's specific measurements and preferences, offering a secure and personalized fit akin to a wheeled prosthetic.
The CR1 project commenced in Nashville, TN in early 2018 and culminated in the official market release in October 2023. Throughout the development process, the design underwent rigorous testing and refinement, incorporating feedback from industry experts and user evaluations to ensure optimal functionality and durability.
Garven's dedication to pushing the boundaries of conventional wheelchair design has resulted in the CR1, a revolutionary mobility solution that combines cutting-edge technology with personalized comfort, setting a new standard in the industry.
