Sunrise Medical Brings RGK Wheelchairs to North America

FRESNO, Calif. (August 9, 2022)—RGK, a range of advanced and premium made-to-measure manual wheelchairs, is now available through Sunrise Medical North America. Acquired by Sunrise Medical in 2015, RGK Wheelchairs was founded on the principles of challenging convention, breaking down barriers and empowering people!

Already trusted by many top professional athletes with more than 30 world champion ambassadors globally, RGK is renowned for and will always strive to be the best in made-to-measure. RGK is launching a new line of made-to-measure manual wheelchairs because they believe in the clinical evidence, which says a highly customized ultralight manual chair that is built to fit the individual rider results in optimal function and quality of life. 

“I don’t compromise with my manual mobility, why would I expect others to? Good is not good enough. We are committed to making a better product than we are obligated to for the well-being of our customers,” said, Josh Anderson, VP of business development and an RGK rider himself.

RGK and Sunrise also announced the launch of the RGK Genius Program. An RGK Genius is a subject matter expert on RGK and manual wheelchair design and mobility. Every RGK wheelchair evaluation/consultation will have an RGK Genius available to be there in person or via video conference to assist with measurements and any questions on the RGK product. 

“Having a subject matter expert on RGK present at the evaluation/consultation allows challenges to be resolved immediately. Our goal is to give the rider the best possible fit using a collaborated process with the team. It is a huge advantage to doing made-to-measure right and efficiently. It also takes some of the burden of ‘getting the chair right’ off the clinician and ATP,” said Jim Black, director of strategic accounts and business development.

“Our goal is to build the best product for the rider while removing the fear of ordering a made-to-measure manual chair. If the chair is wrong, we will make it right, period,” said Larry Jackson, president of Sunrise Medical North America.
