Mobility Matters: Sourcing Rehab Equipment
Phase 3.
1. Key Categories
- Wheelchairs: Electric vs. Manual. Carbon fiber lightweight models are trending.
- Hospital Beds: For home care.
- Massage Guns: The market is flooded. Prices dropped from $50 to $8.
2. Production Hubs
- Danyang (Jiangsu): The "Wheelchair Capital".
- Zhongshan: Also strong for medical hardware.
3. Motors & Batteries
- For electric wheelchairs, the Controller is key. PG Drives (UK brand) is the standard. If they use a generic Chinese controller, it might be jerky.
